Hi,
Now that i can create macros and place results anywhere I have another challenge. Invariably my spreadsheets change,so locations move. How can my macros, which now refer to specific locations be told to find there source data at the new locations, without editing?

I have also created some functions which I call for complex calculations. I have loaded them as add-ins, but moving the program between computers requires me to always, on the specific computer, reload the call in the cells - am I doing something wrong?

Are you looking for something like:
ThisWorkbook.Path
or
ActiveWorkbook.Path
About Addins:
place the XLA file in:
"%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\AddIns"
and enable the Addin (Tools -> Addins...) - then the macros and functions should be working normally
