Store information
I am creating a Excel Plugin. I want to store some information regarding the
user who creates that excel and the person who modify it subsequently. I want to store this info in some hidden way, available to be viewed only thought a custom menu item/ dialog box I create. This is possible in word using the ".variable" property where in i can create a "embedded" variable in the document and can refer to it programatically. I dont see any such facility in Excel. Any Comments/ Suggestion will be useful. -Satin |

Hi
Their is nothing like the .Variable property in Excel. The easiest thing to do (and the most accessible for you) is keep such information on a hidden sheet. You can make this very hidden (so that it cannot be unhidden from the menu bar) using worksheets("Notes").Visible = xlVeryHidden code will unhide it worksheets("Notes").Visible = TRUE but you won't see the sheet in the collection of hidden sheets if you try and go look for it. regards Paul On May 3, 7:48 am, Satin wrote: I am creating a Excel Plugin.

Thanks Paul.
This is the last resort I have. It is quite surprising that Excel does not provide any such feature while it is present is word(.variable) and powerpoint(.tag). Same Owner.. different models ..!!

Word and powerpoint are about text, while Excel is about data would be
the rationale I suppose? The easiest place to keep data is on a worksheet, so why reinvent the wheel?? Paul On May 3, 9:37 am, Satin wrote: Thanks Paul. This is the last resort I have.
