Why don't you just ask all your users to copy the file from the network folder to their c: drive?

or they can map this VBA File into their C:\  whatever. Then, no matter when you do the update, can be make avail to all these users .

Of course you grant them the related access rights of this Folder/vb File

You don't need a script. All the users run the networked copy of the add-in so, when changes are made to that, they automatically get them the next time they start Excel. It's a tried and tested method.

Hi, Velouria

I want to share a macro excel like this to be able to work from two or more computers. I tried OneDrive but it doesn't allow to run Macros and VBA (is possible to do this in excel online?). 

If you can help me to make this happen this would be helpful, to show me a tutorial how to do this. 

 

Thanks in advance 

Best, Astrit

Hi Astrit,

Just do as already suggested here

1. Allow users to load the same file from a shared network drive

2. Load an add-in from shared network drive

You don't describe your environment though so those solutions may not work.

Whilst you can store a workbook with VBA on OneDrive, the VBA won't execute in Excel Online.  So the user would have to download the file from OneDrive to their PC and run the VBA that way.

Regards

Phil
