Hi Lionel
An XLA is an add-in that you create in Excel rather than buying one.
It's done through the VBE, and basically you compile the VBA code in your
xls workbook etc. etc. then save it changing the extension from xls to xla.
Your xla probably has a password, and some modifications and editing are
possible but if you lose your password or if an employee leaves your work
with the password, then a decompiler will find your password and convert the
xla file back to an xls workbook for changes, etc.
To others that wrote:
The best trade record sheet that I've seen is in "Option Wizard Futures".
It's one of 16 sheets in a very large XL workbook. The "trade record" sheet
columns go from A to EN and covers everything you can think of ... even tax
stuff.
The workbook is all in-cell code so there's no VBA to worry about <G>
The Position Cost Averaging workbook is mainly in-cell code and inter-sheet
links. The VBA code is really pathetic, so there are lots of possibilities
here. Change the "!" references from "data" to your own MS/XL data path. He
uses lots of white font on white background so you'll need to run a map to
find all the in-cell code.
Best regards
Walter
