Need to get an Excel AddIn compiled for my son so he can support his thesis.
I can get it to compile in VB 2005 Express, but I cannot get it to generate
a .xla file, I just get a binary (dll?) formatted file and a blank setup
script.

Thanks

Not sure about VB or other Visual Studio products, but I always
create XLA files from within Excel.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211563 shows how for Excel 2000.
2002 and 2003 are just about identical.
