creating an addin for all regularly used vba functions

karraj · Mar 13th, 2002, 08:57 AM

Can anyone direct me on how to create an addin for my regularly used vba functins, so that I need not cut, copy paste all my functions from one spreadsheet to another.
Thanks in advance

save a workbook with all your macros in it as an add-in (.xla) in directory Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeLibrary. Next close the file and attach the new add-in (Tools - Add-ins).
Please note: this is true for Office 97, I don't know about higher versions...

Just put all of your code into a module. Name it basMyUtils or something like that. Export it to a common place on your machine/network.

Then, simply import that module into your new projects. You'll be able to use all of your code then.

Another route would be to make a DLL that contains all your functions. The other choice would definitely be the easiest though.

Regards,

Doug

thanks all of you.
I tried that, but how do I add the descriptive explanation for all the inputs to my function when the function pop up is seen?
Thanks
