Accessing Global Template Objects

Hi,

how can i access classes, autotext entries, etc. of a global template
(like normal.dot) within a macro.
public methods are accessible through the
Application.Run "MyGlobalTemplate.MyMethod"
command. Is it necessary to add a method for each class, autotext,
etc. that return the object?

thanks, Matthias

If the global is loaded you should be able to simply use an autotext from it.
You should also be able to call any procedure from it.

Sub CalledFromGlobal()
Msgbox "Hello from the global template."
End Sub

Simply using:

Call CalledFromGlobal should execute the procedure.

It depends on what you mean. But see
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/Classes.aspx. Chip explains how to declare
and create variables of a class type in multiple projects.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Shauna for the link,

but i need a way to access classes of a global template that isn't
listed under references. my shared classes are kept in a template in
the startup folder.

cheers, matthias

You can't. You must set a reference to a template if you want to use
anything in that template.
