Ignoring reference errors

I think you have to make a different version of your workbook, one with the
references removed and all code calling referenced routines removed or
commented out or put inside conditional compilation directives.

there better info, somewhere else?

Is there a way to also add a reference to an add-in within conditional
compiliation? Specifically is there a way to make this reference in code only
and not through the VBE interface. So that with a flick of variable I can
decide whether to use an add-in or let the spreadsheet model work without it
entirely? Examples are greatly appreciated. This would solve so many of my
problems when sending files to people. Thanks.
