Opening an Add-In

[Kerry]

Hi

I have created an Excel add-in file, saved it, activated
it etc. Its working fine. However, I would like to add
a description to it and make some amendments but I can't
open the file. Any ideas?

Many Thanks

Kerry

Kerry,

Go into the VB IDE, select ThisWorkbook in the addin project, and change the
IsAddin property to False. This then becomes a visible workbook, you can add
your description, reset the IsAddin property and save it (in the VB IDE).

Laurent Longre has an addin that provides language support and much more.
You can get it
http://longre.free.fr/english/
although I do not know that it supports Portuguese, you could check it out

The development environment within Excel. Do Alt-F11 to get to it.

Hi Kerry,

> Sorry - whats the VB IDE?

It's the editor you see when you click Tools > Macro > Visual Basic
Editor, aka the VBE.
