    AddIn link not working right when save to network drive

    Here's the problem:
    I am running Excel 2000
    I created an addin file to avoid the "... contains macros" pop up. The addin contains a custom function.
    This is where it gets tricky - I share this workbook by placing it on a drive on the company's intranet.
    The formula changes from calling the function from the addin when it is saved to the C: drive to a complicated link with the address from my C: drive with the drive letter changed to the intranet drive letter.
    From: =Alarm.xla!AVGAlarm(AA6:AA36,">225860",AA37)
    To: ='R:\Documents and Settings\kowalsd\Application Data\Microsoft\AddIns\Alarm.xla'!AVGAlarm(AA6:AA36,">225860",AA37)

    It sounds like all you have to do is turn off the addin that points to the C:
    drive and turn on the addin that points at the R: drive.

    Tools|Addins

    If you want to change it back to the addin on the C: drive, you can use
    Edit|links to change the source.

    That's what I ended up doing and it appears to be working for now. I posted the add-in on the network drive and did not allow Excel to place the add-in on the local drive when I added it to each local version.
