Just to add:

Single quotes is the answer for you as Chip stated, but blanks alone don't
require them. This ran fine for me

Sub RunOrganize()
Application.Run "My - Test - book.xls!OrganizeData"
End Sub

when I changed the name to My - Text - (b) & ook.xls, then I needed single
quotes.

If the name contains blanks, you need to enclose the file name
within single quotes. E.g.,

Application.Run "'Other Workbook Name.xls'!MacroName"

I have tried this but it seems to be some problem.....

Are there any restrictions on the WB name?
My name contains blanks, minus-sign, parenthesis.
Is this allowed?

Best Regards

If you don't have reference from the calling workbook to the
workbook with
the macro, you would use application.Run

application.Run "OtherWorkbookName.xls!Macro1"

Hi,

I have two WBs open and are updating/merging data from one
to the other. I
want to run a macro in one WB to create data on a specific
WS. The results
shall be copied from the WB into the other.
To generate the data there is a pushbutton on one WS
(connected to a
macro).
The resulting data is gathered on another WS, that is to be
copied to the
other WB.

How can I execute a macro in another WB (in VB)?
