Plugins / Addins
Chaps,
I use Excel at a pretty advanced level, inc writing VBA. My work deploys everything across a network, using Citrix (i.e. nothing, even apps is local). They've just agreed to set me up a server so that I can have plugins like the Regular Expressions, but they want to set it up in one go. So here's the question - is there a list anywhere if all the free addins etc that I'm ever likely to use? (appreciate more are being developed as I write) Alternatively, are there any you'd like to recommend? Cheers, Tom. |

How could we possibly know what you are ever likely to use.
The only two indispensable IMO are MZTools - http://www.mztools.com/v3/mztools3.htm NameManager - http://www.jkp-ads.com/OfficeMarketPlaceNM-EN.asp -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "mr tom" <mr-tom at mr-tom.co.uk.(donotspam) wrote in message ...

Thanks, Bob.
Badly worded in my case - apologies. I guess I wanted to know which ones are key in extending excel and VBA functionality. I appreciate this'll never be a full list. Perhaps (and again I appreciate this will be different for different users) which are the 5-10 thet you'd get (outside of thise actually included with Excel). Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Tom,
There are thousands of addins out there, some good, some great, some poor, some appalling. Even the good and the great are only useful if you need their functionality (e.g. FastExcel is a not free add-in that I use extensively, but many people would never have a use for it, whereas many others suggest ASAP Utilities which I have absolutely no use for). Some are so specialised that they might be just install once and remove types, but the best are ones that you use every day, as in the case of the two I suggested (at least for me they are). -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "mr tom" <mr-tom at mr-tom.co.uk.(donotspam) wrote in message ...

Maybe a Google search will bring up some add-ins you never knew you needed!
One that crops up fairly often in searches is http://www.ozgrid.com/Services/ExternalFree.htm Good luck!
