Default Macros will not run with two Excel applications open

After 10 months of writing, my program finally is finished! I have an
issue, though (I guess a program is never really finished...) I send
my Excel program out to various unskilled people to use to keep score
at school events. If they have a second Exel application open, the
Macros seem to not know which program they are attached to, and my
program crashes every time.

Is there any way to tie the macros in my program to my program? I
cannot use the program name in the Macro lines, even though the
program name is constantly changed by the various users. Even if the
user makes a copy of the program (as they are instructed to do as a
backup), and both the copy and the original are active at the same
time, crash! I think there is probably a simple solution, but I have
no idea what it is. Perhaps there is some way to have the program
read its name and tie the macros to the name when it is opened? I do
not know how to find this information without help. Could someone
guide me on this one? Your help on this group is always greatly
appreciated.
