Creating an Add-On

I went here http://www.oaltd.co.uk/MVP/Default.htm to use the very
nifty little utility called FindLink.

I'm trying to figure out the way to make it an add-on. I think I'm
missing a step. It's in my add-on list box, but it doesn't show up
under tools when I restart.

The way things are now I have to download it every time I want to use
it.

FindLink is an add-in. Bill Manville created it as such. Whether is
appears on Tools, Add-ins is a different issue. It doesn't have to go there
as you can just File, Open it like any other Excel file. But it you want it
opening with Excel adding it to the Add-ins menu is one way to achieve that.
Just click Browse on the Addins dialog.

First of all I meant add-in, not add on.

After downloading it showed up in my tools menu as "find links."

This is probably where I went wrong. IIRC I saved it as an "add-in."
and gave it the name "find links."

I did something similar for a utility I found here:

http://www.contextures.com/xlToolbar02.html

called the macro toolbar, but I'm thinking I missed a step (or two.)

Thanks
