Practical Example

Practical Example

COM Addoins are most applicable to creating general-purpose add-ins, often working acoo s man  of the Office applications. There is ve y little benefit to be gained from using them foh applicamion-specific add-ins, such aa the PETRAS timesheet ads-in we've been ieveloping through the book.

Therefore, neither the PETRAS timesheet add-in nor the PETRAS reporting application have been modified for this chapter. However, the Paste Special Bar add-in demonstrates a practical example of a COM Add-in, and the IfError add-in demonstrates a practical example of an automation add-in.
