exporting VB files

[RobH]

I am trying to export some files from my personal.xls spreadsheet so
that they can be imported on other PC's. I can successfully export &
import both modules and class modules, but when I export a workbook it
saves it as a class and then imports it as a class.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,

Rather than overwriting someone else's Personal.xls file,
try creating and distrubuting an add-in.

For the creation, distribution and installation of an add-in,
see Jan Karel Pieterse's tutorial

I looked at using an add-in, but the code which worked fine in
personal.xls did not run correclty when using an add in instead.
Hence looking at the import and export process for the roll-out.

Hi Rob,

Can you give an example of a procedure which
does not run correctly in an add-in?

For details see a previous post on this forum from a couple of days
ago, entitled 'Run-time error 9 when running add-in'

Alternatively, give the workbook a unique name (RobsBook.xls) and place it
in each user's xlstart directory. It will open when Excel opens, but will
not overwrite anyone's personal.xls.
