Help creating an application level add-in xml/vba

[kgaul01]

I have created a workbook with all my macros and saved as an add-in (.xlam) but I am now struggling with deployment and ui customization. I know how to modify the ribbon for my own excel but I want to create a full add-in that I can distribute to my colleagues that has a new custom ribbon tab with buttons calling my macros. I am able to write the basic xml to describe the ribbon but don't know how to fit all the pieces together. I have been trying to use Visual Studio but without much luck
Thanks for the help!

Hi
You can try using Visual Ribbon Editor 2010 for creating your own custom ribbon tab with buttons.

Thanks for the quick reply! I am able to make a custom ribbon with no problem....it is the following that has my head spinning:
1. How to deploy the custom ribbon the be added when the user enables my add in
2. How to reference the vba code I have written from the project so my new ribbon buttons will run the specified macros.
Suggestions?
