UDFs with IntelliSense Parameter Descriptions

[1503-44]

I'm trying to add descriptions of various parameters in my UDFs using DNA-IntelliSense into an Addin I'm writing that contain a number of UDFs. The parameter descriptions can be saved as a table on a worksheet or saved in an xml file. The IntelliSense addin gets the descriptions from the table and shows them as a tool tip when the cursor is hovered over the parameter name. It works fine when I save the parameter description table on a worksheet, but I don't know how to load an xml file containing just the table description into the addin/workbook to accomplish the same thing. Supposedly the IntelliSense addin will automatically access either the worksheet table, or if an xml file is provided, it will access the xml table description, provided it can find it somewhere. How do I load it and where should I put it?

I only saw advice for how to name the xlm file and what I think said to put it in the same directory as the xlsm, but that didn't work.

From a certain point of view it makes sense to ask your question on the forum I pointed to.

No thanks. I avoid Google-NSA exposure.
Besides it seemed to be the answer to my question right there, but it didn't work, so it appeared to be a bit of a dead end.

Thanks. I'll try it.
Rats! I have to make another account there! Maybe not.

Sorry, they are separate accounts. The ET general population doesn't mix much with them.

I'll just work with a hidden worksheet while this resolves, starts working for some unknown reason, breaks entirely, or morphs into Excel 2016.

Should I try running that macro to "embed the xlm"?
