ActivityHD ribbon

The ActivityHD ribbon provides tools in Excel for creating, calculating, and producing financial statements.

Until ActivityHD 9.10-0, an XLAM add-in was used to provide the ActivityHD ribbon and its features in Excel. The XLAM add-in required each user to register the add-in in order to use it. In 9.10-0 and later releases, the same functionality is provided by a COM add-in named "ActivityHDExcel.dll". The COM add-in is automatically registered for all users on the machine where ActivityHD is installed. The COM add-in provides all the functionality formerly provided by the XLAM add-in.

When you open an Excel workbook that previously used the XLAM add-in for the first time after upgrading to 9.10-0 or later you are prompted to convert the workbook for use with the COM add-in. While conversion to use the COM add-in is optional, AccountingWare recommends conversion especially for advanced and technical users.

Note

The XLAM add-in has been retained for backward compatibility with import macros and various automation tasks; therefore, existing Excel workbooks that have not been converted to use the COM add-in are still usable.
