Default Excel 2007 Add-ins

I was under the impression that manually loading .xlam files in Excel 2007

i.e., Workbooks("MyAddIns.xlam").open

would activate it as an add-in. It does not seem to be the case, though.

Am I missing something?

Default Excel 2007 Add-ins

Hi joeeng

Why do you think it is not loaded as a add-in ?

A add-in is a hidden workbook

Default Excel 2007 Add-ins

It is supposed to add a new group to the ribbon, but doesn't. When I
manually add the .xlam file to the add-in list, it works. If I just open the
file it does not.

Default Excel 2007 Add-ins

This is very strange
There is no differents in loading it with the Add-in list or open it manual.

You can send me the file private and I take a look

I am actually trying your Example 2 from "Avoiding Two Versions" article. I
cannot get it to work the way you describe that it should. I simply is not
adding the "Test Tab".

Which is it? Are you manually loading or using code?

Workbooks("MyAddIns.xlam").open

I downloaded the Example 2 again, and it worked. My previous download must
have been corrupted somehow.

Your right, the code sniipet <<Workbooks("MyAddIns.xlam").open

is not part of your Example 2. It was only meant to be a generic add-in
open statement.

It probably has a Sub Auto_Open in it. Auto_Open does not run when opened
by macro. It has to be forced to run:

Workbooks.Open "MyAddIns.xlam"
Workbooks("MyAddIns.xlam").RunAutoMacros xlAutoOpen

I missed that.

So he's opening our XL11WB.XLS and it's loading HasRibbonX.xlam and the
ribbon changes are not occurring? I'd like to know how to do that. I'd
guess the xlam is not opening maybe because the open workbook_code in
XL11WB.XLS isn't running.
