can't create excel add-in macro to use with other workbooks

[icccapital]

I have copied my code below. But to create the add-in, I opened a new
workbook, opened VBA, copied the code into a new module. Went back to the
workbook, gave it a tile in the properties under file. Tested the code on
this workbook and then saved it as an *.xla file. I have had two things
happen:

1)either when I select the add-in the workbook I am looking at will freeze
and I won't be able to select any cells, although I can do everything else,
ie use the file menus, look at vba etc.

2) when I have gotten the add-in to seem to install correctly and it shows
up in vba but not as a workbook, the macro does not show up in the list of
macros on any workbook.

Can someone help? Thanks

macros in an addin do not show up in the Tools=>Macro=>Macros list. this is
expected behavior.
