Hi<br />
I have used the ribbon customisation feature of Excel 2010 to add various Excel commands to the ribbon (eg; formatting etc..) and it works well - I am also able to export these customisations, and then import them into Excel on another PC.<br />
Where this does not work is if I create a custom ribbon item which points to a macro (located on my hard drive)<br />
<br />
What I would like to do now is to create a very basic Add-In, which will place a menu item on the ribbon which will open a file.<br />
Can anyone provide some sample code for such an Add-In?<br />
Thanks<br />
