Hi,

I created a set of macros that I need to be able to call whatever the workbook is openned.
For example:

Code:
Public Sub ResetFullLayout()
'**----------------------------------------------------
'**
'**    Purpose: Reset layout to view all columns and all data
'**
'**    Input: none
'**
'**    Ouput: none
'**
    Columns("A:AA").Select
    Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
    Range("L23").Select
    ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
End Sub

Then in order to make accessible with every workbook, I created a macro button in the quick access toolbar.
Which produced the following entry in the qat file:
Code:
[COLOR=#D4D4D4][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#808080]<[/COLOR][COLOR=#569cd6]mso:button[/COLOR] [COLOR=#9cdcfe]idQ[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#ce9178]"x1:https:__oursharepoint_sites_Shared_Documents_OU_00059_1715_Hierarchy.xlsm_shMain.ResetFullLayout"[/COLOR] [COLOR=#9cdcfe]visible[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#ce9178]"true"[/COLOR] [COLOR=#9cdcfe]label[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#ce9178]"modL6.ClearTable"[/COLOR] [COLOR=#9cdcfe]imageMso[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#ce9178]"ListMacros"[/COLOR] [COLOR=#9cdcfe]onAction[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#ce9178]"https://oursharepoint.com/sites/MainSite/SharedDocuments/OU_00059_1715_Hierarchy.xlsm!shMain.ResetFullLayout"[/COLOR][COLOR=#808080]/>[/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR]

Normally, I would remove the fully qualified path and keep only the macro name.
It worked in the past.

But while writing this post, I got this idea to reference the module in which the macro would be found.
So I tested it.

I exported the qat file into "Excel Customization.exportedUI", then openned it using VSCode (so I could formet the XML code).
I could find the entry at the end of tag mso:sharedControls<mso:sharedcontrols><mso:sharedcontrols>.
I converted it so it looked like this:
Code:
[COLOR=#D4D4D4][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#808080]<[/COLOR][COLOR=#569cd6]mso:button[/COLOR] [COLOR=#9cdcfe]idQ[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#ce9178]"x1:ResetFullLayout"[/COLOR] [COLOR=#9cdcfe]visible[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#ce9178]"true"[/COLOR] [COLOR=#9cdcfe]label[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#ce9178]"ResetFullLayout"[/COLOR] [COLOR=#9cdcfe]imageMso[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#ce9178]"ListMacros"[/COLOR] [COLOR=#9cdcfe]onAction[/COLOR]=[COLOR=#ce9178]"shMain.ResetFullLayout"[/COLOR][COLOR=#808080]/>[/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR]

I tried it in the curent workbook and it worked!

Even though I know this forums is meant to ask questions, I though it would be nice to provide the answer since I found it.
In case anybody else runs into the same issue.

Feel free to get rid of this post if moderators find it uselss or a duplicate of some other post. (sorry I did search but I couldn't find anything related to this issue)</mso:sharedcontrols></mso:sharedcontrols>

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
