Automatically Loading Excel Add-ins

Here is a tip from Allen Wyatt’s Excel tips site.

Allen was asked if there is a way to selectively load add-ins for specific worksheets. He said there is a way to do this, but it involves the use of macros attached to the Workbook module for the specific worksheets. Follow these general steps:

1. Load the worksheet for which you want a specific add-in loaded.
2. Press Alt+F11 to display the VBA Editor.
3. Double-click on the “This Workbook” object in the Project Explorer. Excel opens a code window for This Workbook.
4. Place the following macros in the code window:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
AddIns("Add-In Name").Installed = False
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
AddIns("Add-In Name").Installed = True
End Sub

1. In the code, change the name of the add-ins (“Add-In Name”) to the real name of the add-in you want to use with the worksheet.
2. Close the VBA Editor.
3. Save your worksheet.

I will be using this method to choose which addins I have loaded at any one time. I have up to three loaded at one time which I don’t need all the time. Thanks Allen
