If each of my users, all different stations around the office, use the same Add-In file (uses a custom ribbon with each macro) and that Add-In is saved in the default folder on the C:\ directory, then here's my question about how I could have them update the Add-In file...
Could I send all users the xlam file with directions to save as to <C:\Documents Data\Microsoft\AddIns Settings\sbeattie\Application and>
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\sbeattie\Application Data\Microsoft\AddIns
or does the user need to copy it from a folder on the network?
-- g</C:\Documents>

Sorry my other question would be, whether or not they are downloading the file from the email or having to copy it from the network drive, do they absolutely need to remove the add-in (check mark) from the dialog box, or can they just close and reopen Excel after they have saved the file in the directory noted above?

Thank you
