I use the following code to save an "xlsm" file as an addin

With Thisworkbook
.SaveAs Application.UserLibraryPath & "ACME.xlam"

I get a run-time error 1004
This extension cannot be used with the selected file type...

If I change the file extension to .xla the file is saved as an Addin with an "xla" file extension.

I thought that 2007 required addins to have the "xlam" extension. Am I wrong?
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Thanks AlphaFrog,

I didn't notice your contribution. It takes a little while to reset the files and addin list. I'll give it a try and let you know.
