I have been trying to get my xll to debug in Visual Studio, there are
some errors. In my "modules debug window" under my xll, it is saying
"The module did not load at the default load address"

I am wondering what this means? If the module didn't load in to the
correct space, how am I able to call its functions from Excel?

It usually means the module was relocated from the default address
(0x400000, or whatever) to the appropriate available spot in the
process' memory. You can safely ignore it for now. Relocation only
costs you some time. If you want the dynamic libraries load as fast
as possible, and you know how many your exe has, you can make them
all have different default load addresses, so there would be no
conflict. Then no relocation occurs. That's all IIRC, of course.
