Make Code Available

Hi Elaine

If code is written in the Personal Macro Workbook it can be used by all workbooks that are opened on your computer.

Also, if Procedures(Macros) created in any workbook are preceded by the word Public (eg Public Sub MyMacro() ) then they will be visible by all open workbooks.

The danger of writing code in one workbook (Book A) to be used in another workbook (Book B), is that Book A has to be open on the computer for Book B to be able to use the code.

This means that if Book B is sent to someone else they can't run any of the code.

As a good practice I always advise people to copy the code into all the workbooks that will be using it.

It may be duplication of code but will save hours of frustration in the long term.

Regards

Carlos

Excel tip:

Entering text in Multiple Worksheets

If you have a number of worksheets in a workbook that require the same information (data or tables) on each worksheet, this can be done as follows:

Hold down the Ctrl key and click one or more of the additional worksheet tabs (i.e. Sheet2, Sheet3, etc).

In your mainsheet (Sheet1) enter the required data or design a table.

When done 'Click' on the other sheet tabs and you will see that the information entered in Sheet1 is on all the other selected worksheets.

NB Do not forget to deselect the worksheets - otherwise you may add data to the main worksheet and all the selected worksheets will also have that data!
