Making an Excel application with VBA for yourself to ease your workload is great.
Making an Excel application with VBA for your office neighbor is even greater, you get good feedback and everyone is a winner!
Making an Excel application with VBA for two office neighbors is also great but now you have two places to update and bugs must be fixed on both.
still good success, the word spreads and your Excel/VBA capability is now a well known resource.
Making an Excel application with VBA for the entire office works fine in the beginning but as the number of users increase, so do the number of bugs discovered and the number of updates needed...
3 or 4 workbooks is still manageble but updating the VBA code and testing is now a real chore.
Time to pull the emergency brake and tell people that we need at least a contractor to set up an Access Database for us! Of course the emergency brake is not connected to anything and no one is interested in listening, let alone spend money. "It works fine, just fix the bugs. And oh, by the way, here is another feature I want you to implement..."
Does anyone recognize this situation? Is there a way to manage and update VBA code in multiple workbooks?
