Add-ins - VBA

A VBA add-in is a regular workbook, document or presentation that contains VBA code.
It can add ribbon buttons, custom menus as welll as Excel user-defined functions (UDFs).
VBA is embedded directly into most the Office applications.


Understanding Add-ins

The list of add-ins that are available within Excel is updated every time Excel is closed.
Making changes to the Add-ins dialog box will not save any permanent changes. It will only install or uninstall add-ins on a temporary basis.
To make any permanent changes you must close Excel after you have made your changes.
