Hi,
How can I give my .xla a proper, descriptive name that will appear in the list of references (Tools/References in VBA) rather than just the file name appearing there? I thought I could change the 'project name' in Project Properties but certain characters (like spaces) aren't allowed there so that can't be it?
Thanks
 
You can for instance name it (VBA project) 'My_addin'. This can be used when another vba project refers to this file.
To add descriptions for the user (when installing addin) add tittle and comments to the file (excel interface), here spaces are accepted.

Yes I can...but I was wondering if it was possible to have a proper, descriptive name. For example, fm20.dll is displayed as 'Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library' in the list.

Obviously, it's not that important, just wondered if anybody knew whether it could be done or not :)
 
In vbe: Tools <VBAProject> properties..>General tab, Project description.
