    Why did my custom tab/ribbon disappear after sending it through email?

    Yesterday, I wrote a macro and installed a custom tab with a button in that tab to run the macro. I emailed the Excel file to my boss. This morning when she opened the attachment, the custom tab/ribbon that I added was not there.

    What happened? How can I ensure that it does not disappear when somebody else opens the workbook?

    Could it be that the person on the receiving computer must have certain Object Libraries enabled?

    Because it is manually added in your ribbon which stays in your system excel alone.

    So you have to write a code in on workbook_open event to create a custom menu on the ribbon and assign macro code to it via code.

    On close you need to delete that button.

    You may also use CustomUI XML in workbook to create your own tab. Code will only add buttons to Add Ins tab.
