Autorun Add-in

[Todd Heiks]

How do i make my addin run when it is added to excel?
I want the user to browse to my addin and then have the addin build the
toolbar for itself.

Regards,
Todd

In the XLA's ThisWorkbook code module, put the code to build the menu:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
' your code here
End Sub

Then, use BeforeClose to delete the menu:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(ByRef Cancel As Boolean)
' your code here
End Sub

Your add-in needs some Workbook_Open event code in Thisworkbook module or
Auto_Open code in a general module.

The code will build the Toolbar.

Don't forget to delete the Toolbar when the add-in closes.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for sample by Dave Peterson.
