Need help compiling an Excel AddIn (xla)

[Dave Bruhn]

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.

An .xla file is an Excel file with VBA saved as an Addin. There is no
compile.
If you are compiling in a stand-alone environment, then yes you will get a
Dll.

I have no idea what you are really trying to do, but the dll should suppy
the functionality. You would be better served to post to an Excel newsgroup
and not to a Visual Basic one.
