I probably shouldn't admit this......:(

I use personal.xls a little like Joe describes. All users in my office have a copy. Each macro therein simply calls a routine which is centrally stored, so if I need to change the code I can do it once only. Of course if I want to add new procedures I need to change each users personal.xls.....but that doesn't happen very often.

It didn't work that way before last year but that was the only way I could make it happen with 2007. Never created an add-in......

.....a Piggie bank........on my toolbar......

Piggy Bank is my favorite, everbody has one.....

Excel Facts

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Smiley face and 8 Ball are my buttons of choice :stickouttounge:

My boss wanted her Reports Macro to be a Smiley Face and another colleague wanted hers to be the Cloud because it's her boyfriends nickname... the things I do to keep people happy :rolleyes:

I'm waiting for a really good Macro to use the 8 ball...
 
I voted so I think I should get a beer too ;-)

I don't use it, only because I have gone to the effort of building an addin as a library of my favourite routines / functions... I used to use it before that.

I'm a bit behind you. I still use it, but have been considering ways of moving away from it. Add-ins seem to be the best bet. I've got custom toolbars for my dozen most used macros, all with custom buttons. (I really really don't underdstand the logic in the stock ones... :twak: )

Oh, and I'll pass on the beer, thanks. Real men don't drink beer.

They drink Vodka! :laugh:
 
My favourite icons are Mr. Potatohead, Jessica Alba (in a bikini), and a couple I can't mention.
