link code between 2 files

Hi,

I am creating a sign making program that uses a commandbar created at
startup. Users save these signs and the code is embedded along with the
saved file. The problem is that when I update the code or add a new
feature all of the archived saved signs are stuck using the old
toolbar. The best idea i could come up with was to create the code in a
separate file and have all of the saved signs call the code in that
other file. That way they would be able to take advantage of any new
features that have been added. I examined making this an add-in but I
can't figure out how to do that. I'm using publisher 2003. Thanks for
any assistance.

An add-in would be the best (and probably only) way to accomplish this.

To program an add-in, you need a separate programming language such as
Visual Basic, Delphi, Visual C++, or any of the .NET languages.
