QuestionEasing the pain of updating code - Excel macros Pin

I have a question about using VS to build a VSTO solution for Excel:

I built an Excel template for the company I work for and a significant portion of it relies on macros (for example, one of the functions is to use the drawing tools to automatically draw a picture of the product being manufactured and calculate weight of material required, calculate angles, size of mold, etc., and another copies the folder structure with material take-off, fabrication instructions, etc., and renames it match the sales order). Every project we do is a custom project so I'm constantly finding new requirements that didn't exist at the time I originally built the template. Sometimes the new requirements expose an error in my programming that I wouldn't have found otherwise. When this happens I not only have to change the template, but all project files created with the template - we have on average 130+ active projects at any given time and each project could have 1 or more product profiles (the largest I've had is 204). Needless to say, a minor change becomes a major undertaking.

I'm thinking about maybe revamping the whole thing as a VSTO project in VS but I'm not sure if it's really the best answer. The template resides on a shared network folder so anyone who needs access to it can do so. If I build the project as an VSTO Excel document, will it retain the code necessary to perform the core functions after the file is saved? (It's not uncommon for customers to make a change to the initial design, or add new profiles midstream so the ability to continue editing after the initial save is essential.) Will users need to install anything locally? Same question if I go the Excel Addin route. Which option would be best suited to the need? If I go either route, will a change in the code promulgate to the documents using the template or addin or I am looking at an exercise in futility when it comes to updating/correcting code?

Any thoughts, insights, tales of joyous success or dismal failure are welcome.

Thanks.
