public macros

[TommyBoy]

i created a windows form that allows you to select a pay roll file, the
pay roll file has a sheet for each employee, the form lets you select
each employee you want to their sheet to. I created a macro in excel
that emails the sheet as the body and everything is working fine. My
problem is that there will be a different pay roll file for each pay
period, how do i make my macro public so any pay roll file can access
it? Thanks in advance

Tommy,

Macros in a standard module are b y default public, unless you explicitly
make them private. The trick is to have an argument that allows the variable
file name to be passed.

An additional method is to put your code in an addin, put it in a common
network drive and let you users select it in Tools=>Addins. You would also
have code in the workbook_open event of the addin to create a toolbar to run
your macros.

These are about distributing applications
