trying to email .xla inside/with .xls

[jrd269]

I am using an add-in for excel that is not created by Microsoft. I can use it on my machine with no problem, but when I email the document the add-in doesn't go with it. Is there anyway I can encapsulate the .xla and .ini files inside a .xls file.
On my machine I have got it to work by Tools/Add-ins/Browse then select file, I have also done to Tools/Options/General tab/then "at start up, open all files in:"
Both ways work on my machine, but they won't save add-in.
Any suggestions? I would like to be able to email the .xls file and have them use the add-in without have to load it seperately.

Hi Joe

No this is not possible
The user must install the add-in

You can also use macro's in your file
