Hi Bob,

Very nice article! Well done! Props to you...
So nice that I think I might actually try it with my next
workbook-based addin for MSO12+ clients.

I thought about doing similar to this before I decided to make all my
apps COMAddins, but I couldn't resolve the lack of security that tags
along with it. I now do the same thing via code as outlined in Excel
2007 VBA Programmer's Reference. It simply checks version of the host
app to determine what to do. Since my addins are task-specific, I only
use an automated instance where I hide everything except the tab with
my menus. This would be the built-in Addins tab because my menus are
all that's there, AND I still use Rob's table-driven CommandbarBuilder
wrapper for creating custom menus/toolbars as a matter of convenience.
That's about the only code in the xla I open, except for the sub that
passes the entry point parameters to the COMAddin. It's also a single
proc used by all menus, which passes their OnAction via the Tag prop
and any parameters as a delimited string via the Parameter prop.

Lots of similarities but not as easy as the old days, huh!

Regards,
Garry

Hmmm.

The headers must have gotten confused in my newsreader. Now my response to Bob
shows up as a response to Bob. But my response to my response is under GS's
message.

Hmmm.
