how can I assign a VBA macro from .xla file to the Quick Access Toolbar in XL 2007 or 2010?

I have a couple of macro’s that I use all the time and one or two that are workbook specific. But instead of having hot keys I add them as menu items…

Sub Auto_Open()

On Error Resume Next
AddErixMenu

End Sub

Sub AddErixMenu()

‘This subroutine adds in the ‘Erix’ menu item to the ‘Worksheet menu Bar’ commandbar

Dim myMenuBar As CommandBar
Dim newMenuControl As CommandBarControl
Dim ctrl1 As CommandBarControl

On Error GoTo AEM_Err

DeleteErixMenu

Set myMenuBar = Application.CommandBars(“Worksheet Menu Bar”)
Set newMenuControl = myMenuBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, _
Temporary:=True)
newMenuControl.Caption = “Eri&x”

‘Delete Erix Menu
Set ctrl1 = newMenuControl.Controls _
.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, _
ID:=1)
ctrl1.Caption = “&Delete Erix Menu”
ctrl1.TooltipText = “Gets Rid of the Erix Menu Item”
ctrl1.Style = msoButtonCaption
ctrl1.OnAction = “DeleteErixMenu”

‘Copy the above ctrl1 lines for additional menu items

GoTo AEM_Exit

AEM_Err:
MsgBox “Unknown Error in Subroutine AddErixMenu”, _
vbOKOnly, _
“Error Report”

AEM_Exit:

Set ctrl1 = Nothing
Set newMenuControl = Nothing
Set myMenuBar = Nothing

End Sub

You can install an add-in from a central location rather than from the user’s default add-in folder. This allows you to update the add-in and have all users working off the most recent version available when they opened Excel.

If you absolutely need them to be using the most up to date version then you can store a current version number in a database table or text file somewhere and have the add-in check it is up to date and warn/disallow progress until it is reloaded.
