i think tushar-mehta's workbook navigations is slick and would come in handy when multiple files are opened

Doco -

The chapter of Professional Excel Development, the new Bullen-Bovey-Green book, that deals with using VB6 with Excel shows how to use a VB6 form from Excel.

Gerrit -

Excel Pragma is accepting comments again. He'd stopped due to excessive comment spam.

Or how about a utility that will convert hard won and built VB6 forms into Excel UserForms… If even that is possible…

Sorry: this is OT.

I cannot post a comment on Excel Pragma and I find no way to contact the author. Tried many times today. Does anyone know if there is a problem there?

I'd like to post on the Digital Certificate topic.

I've been building an add-in for my personal VBA development.
Mainly to get some of the things I do often organised into a single add-in. The VBA items I mentioned on Excel Pragma I've built in.

I call it SwiftVBA, but you can rip the code and call it anything you want.
I've password protected it with the letter h
It installs a menu in the VBE.
Its like an ongoing project... If I find something I do lots then I'll likely incorporate it.

Download it here:
SwiftVBA.zip (29kb)

Cheers,
Rob

How about a utility that would inject additional functionality into pivot tables; subtotals and the like allowing more functions? IE Median, AveDev, GeoMean, HarMean and various others…

I think Stephen's idea should work (but I'd prefer using personal.xls )

One thing I’d like to see in Excel is the ability to insert a Postnet Barcode in a document. I don’t know if any utility can do the trick!

Off the top of my head:
- A good data-list Join utility function for excel
- A user-friendly pivot table format utility
- Some stand-alone error handler functions which can be invoked by error conditions

- Make each utility userform accessible for manual use AND programatically accessible

FWIW, I think the Tools > References dialog shows all 'live' references at the top of the list, then the rest in alphabetical order. So if you add your favourites to your Normal.xls, they'll be at the top of the list for all your workbooks.
