Button, but now code

[Aaron Fude]

Hi,

I'm supplying my colleagues with an addin but also with a spreadsheet that
has a button on it. I would prefer it if the button could call the code from
the addin rather than a callback within the spreadsheet. This would save
them the "Would you like to enable macros?".

Very many thanks in advance,

Aaron

Try to assign the macro below to the button.
You can easily change the values of the variables to make it work in your case.

'---------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim response
Dim file_name As String
Dim macro_name As String

file_name = "file_name_of_addin.xla"
macro_name = "name_of_macro_to_execute"

response = MsgBox("Would you like to enable macros", vbYesNo + vbQuestion)

If response = vbYes Then
Application.Run Macro:="'" & file_name & "'!" & macro_name
End If
End Sub

Why post twice? I replied to the other one.
