I have made an estimating spreadsheet than has different users on different
computers.  As I write new procedures that I want added to the existing
spreadsheet, is there a procedure that I can build into the spreadsheet that
will automatically load the new procedure and set it up to use?  How is the
best way to do this?
Thanks

You can do it using the instructions from Chip Pearson's site:
http://cpearson.com/excel/vbe.aspx

But I wouldn't attempt it.

Instead, I'd separate the date into a normal workbook and the code into an addin
(*.xla).  Then you can just update the addin and redistribute that whenever the
code changed.

You may have to give the users a way to run those procedures.

For additions to the worksheet menu bar, I really like the way John Walkenbach
does it in his menumaker workbook:
http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/tips/tip53.htm

Here's how I do it when I want a toolbar:

(from Debra Dalgleish's site)

And if you use xl2007:

If you want to learn about modifying the ribbon, you can start at Ron de Bruin's
site:
http://www.rondebruin.nl/ribbon.htm
http://www.rondebruin.nl/qat.htm  -- For macros for all workbooks (saved as an
addin)
or
http://www.rondebruin.nl/2007addin.htm

In xl2007, those toolbars and menu modifications will show up under the addins.
