    Distribute a macro to multiple users

    Hi there

    Quick question. If you have edited a macro, and need to roll the changes out to about 150 pcs, what would be the best way of doing so?

    Currently everyone has a set of Macros in NORMAL but they need to be changed.

    Also, can I be cheeky and ask Can a set of VBA features be implemented as an 'Add-In' instead?


    Thank you very much

    Hi Roy,

    Sorry I thought I would leave it as Unsolved as I'm still struggling with the first part of my query.

    Many thanks

    Simon

    If you create an Excel addin then make changes in the mastercopy by changing the ISADDIN Property to false. When finished change it back to True. Then distribute the new version with instructions to overwrite the previous version.

    You could also have an addin stored on the network & all PCs could access the one addin, see network addin

    Excellent, looks good.

    I'll get stuck into these.

    Thanks again.

    If a moderator is able to mark as solved, I would be very grateful, thanks
