    load an simple home made addin permanently

    Good morning,

    I wrote a very simple addin to calculate a specific range, I would like it to work when I press "Ctrl + Q".

    here is the simple code
    HTML Code: 
    I have to browse to addin and enable it everytime I re-open Excel.

    Would you know how to keep it enabled, so that I can use it everytime I use Excel

    thanks for in advance for your suggestion.

    -Phil

    You shouldn't have to add it every time you start excel assuming you are installing it rather than just opening it. Perhaps you have a permissions issue with your registry. A simple workaround would be to put the file in your XLSTART folder so it gets opened, rather than installed, automatically.
    Everyone who confuses correlation and causation ends up dead.

    thank you Romper Stomper, I'll try that and let you know. If I copy it in my XLSTART would it also remember the key shortcut "Ctrl + Q" ?
    thanks again

    Yes it should do - that information is saved in the code module.

    I cannot find my XLstart folder, would you know, where it would typically be located?

    There are two - one in your user folder (path varies by OS) and one in Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\XLSTART for Office 2007 on a 64 bit Windows.
