Where to put code for access by all workbooks

D

David Smith

Please can someone explain where to put code these days that is then
available to all new workbooks. I have a 'Personal.XLS' file but none of my
other colleagues have; do I create such a workbook for them?

Any help would be much appreciated please.

PS - it's Excel 2002/XP.

Cheers

Yes, you should probably create a Personal Macro Workbook for all your
users.

I would place the macros in a workbook and save it as an add-in(*.xla) and
give copies of that to your colleagues.

They could store in Office\Library folder and load it in Tools>Add-ins.

Best to leave them with the capability of creating their own Personal.xls for
their own personal macros.

Also, add-ins don't need the workbook name when assigning macros to a button
or menu item.

Just an alternative Vasant.

Depends on the users' knowledge and capabilities.
