Good Morning -
There are alot of different ways to share macros to other users. I am trying one technique out and running into issues.
I have an excel file with macros built into it. I want to add a custom ribbon with buttons that trigger the macros. when I change the filename of the workbook, or if I want to run those macros in a different workbook, I get errors. So I've tried saving my macros into my PERSONAL.xlsb file and sharing that to other users. I've also used the export customization to export my custom ribbon. when I go to a users computer and upload the new PERSONAL.xlsb file and import the new customization, when I click the button it asks me to verify the security of the macro (giving me an enable and disable button). When I click enable, I get the error "excel cannot have two workbooks open with the same name." I can manually run the macros from the new PERSONAL.xlsb file by using the developer tab, and I can add new buttons, linking them to the PERSONAL.xlsb file and run them just fine, but the original buttons I put on the custom ribbon do not work. How can I fix this, or is there a better way to give macros and ribbons to all of my users?
Thank you!
