I don't follow your code at all. What is OBJECT_LOAD? It looks as though you are attempting to embed an add-in workbook in another workbook, but I can't imagine why.

Hi Rory,
Corect I need to embed the Alib Add In to another workbook in order to run a report. At the moment I am draging the ALIB folder located in ( C:\ct2\alib\18.0.0.0) to the Add-Ins on the top of the ribon in Excel. I need to create a macro to pul the file automatically.
Thank you

Embedding an add-in is not the same as installing it - it won't make the code available to the workbook. Why do you want to embed it?
