Hi,
I have a set of macros that are used for company standard documents. The Macro's are in an .xla file that I need to have reside on the server as 100+ people will be using the documents that reference these macros. I am having trouble with how to correcly refernce the .xla so that it will either always reference the .xla on the server (I don't mind if it's hard coded) or that it will correctly reference the .xla on the individual user's C:\ drive (excel addins) folder if the .xla is copied there via a login script. The .xla consists of macros and functions. 1.) A macro to change the logo to a new logo - it pops up a user form and then changes the logo to the newly selected logo 2.) Functions for document properties (eg http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/docprop.htm) I have tried numerouse examples posted around the groups to try and get the macros to work with no luck. Attempt 1 - Copy the .xla file to the user's addins folder on the C: \drive. When other users open the workbooks that reference the macros and functions they get a hard coded reference to the .xla file on my PC. I have seen posts and web sites saying to do it this way, and I would have no problem doing it this way, but I just can't seem to get it to work. Attempt 2 - Leave the .xla on the server and create a reference to it. I've tried creating the reference manually via the VBA interface, I've tried setting the reference through code on workbook open (as per http://groups.google.com.au/group/mi...nu m=32&hl=en) and I've tried just referencing the .xla throught he Addins dialog (as per http://groups.google.com.au/group/mi...nu m=18&hl=en) Every time I close the workbook and then re-open it the reference is lost (no matter which way I do it). One post I read said the .xla needs to be in the same folder as the workbook. this is not possible as thousands of workbooks will be created and saved all over the server, and they will still always need to be able to reference the .xla. Can anyone help with this and suggest how I set this up so it always works. Thanks |
