Great add-in. Works like a charm. Added some code so that I could also change the shape of the comment. Thanks for making the code available free of charge.

This is a brilliant add in, well done!

Just one Q posted by HD before:

I want the indicator not to show, if I make the background white a thin red line remains.

Any ideas?

I have a problem similar to Eric's above. I would like to go back to not using the macro. How do I remove it? Please someone help me. Thank you.

You should remove the file from the add-ins list before deleting it. If I delete an installed add-in, I get that same message when I open Excel. Then I go to Tools > Addins and uncheck the problem addin. It says it can’t find it and asks if I want to delete it from the list. I say Yes.

Hello

I have problem to remove the Add-in CommentControl.

I have tried
– to remove the file from the computer
– to uninstal it, by uncheck the box in add-in dilog box

But I get this messige when trying to insert a comment

——————————————
‘CommentsControl.xla’ could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct.

If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted.
——————————————

What to do?

This is a great add-in for my workflow.
Here are some headings I currently enter manually, for review tracking:
Comment heading…
– Current date [format]
– Current time [format]
– Current date/time [format]

I downloaded this, added it as an add-in it worked beautifully, btu I also wanted to completely remove the indicator and I don’t believe this fits my needs. When I deleted the file from my desk top(Where I installed it from) I can no longer do anything with comments in any of my Excel workbooks. it says “CommentsControl.xla could not be found…” I unchecked the add-in and I still get that error even in a new workbook, how do I undo what I’ve done??????

Dear Ion,

Thank you very much for the information. Using it as an 'add-in' worked perfecly.
You learn something every day.

Thanks again,
Regards,
David.

Why not set the security to medium?

Alternatively put the code into an add-in, then install the add-in.
