Creating EXE from VBA

raj_phoenix · December 21st, 2004, 07:30 AM

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to create an exe file from VBA - Excel. I know we can create exe from VB but i don't find that option in VBA. I wrote my code in VBA and its activated once i open the excel file. So, i want to create a exe file which doesn't show excel sheet but directly shows VBA form.

Can you please help with this...

Thanks

Johnson

you can't create an exe as such, the closest you will come is to hide the actual app

application.visible = false

this will then allow you to work with your forms without the user seeing the spreadsheet in the background.

You need to use an excel Add-in, this allows the user to use the modules and forms within the add-in just like any other objectetc but they are held in a form similar to a compiled executable file.

Hi Johnson,

An excel add-in is something that you create within the vba environment. Im not a salesman or anything but I swear by the Wrox 'Excel 2000 VBA' programmers reference. It has an excellent section on the use of add-ins.

Do you write your own code in the VBA editor?

As far as I am aware there is no application as such that can create an add-in for you, it is a case of writing the code then protecting that code as an add-in.

Alternatively if you want to send me your spreadsheet/code I can do it for you provided your requirements are simple. As a consultant systems accountant I normally charge for this but I will do this for you in my spare time.

Tell me if you want to go ahead with it.

cheers

Matthew

There are several addins that ship with Excel. To see them go to
Tools / Addins. The check box indicates that the addin's funtions are available to you.

In addition to the ability to create macros and save them as addins, there are plenty of addins available on the Internet that perform all types of functions.
