Hi All..........
Just for the record, I get the same thing at home on Excel2k that I got at
work on Excel97. The only thing that's the same between the two
installations, is the File itself which I brought home on my pocket Jump
Drive.

Vaya con Dios,

Ok, thanks Tom.....

This is XL97 here, I'll try it at home on 2k and see if there is any
difference. I've had other issues with jumping back and forth between the
two, maybe this is another of them.

Thanks again,
Vaya con Dios,
Chuck, CABGx3

Tom.....

Thanks for your patience, perhaps it was I who was not clear.
What I really meant to say was:
1- I removed my Personal.xls file and have NO other workbooks open.
2- When I open the VBE and then do Tools Macro Macros, I get the
list
of
all macros within the current WorkBook, without any prefix's.
3- When I switch to the normal WorkSheet view, and then do Tools
Macro
Macros, three of the 53 macros now have Prefix's, and they elude to
the
EXISTING WorkBook, not some other one that's not open.
4- This has happened to me on many other occasions also, and has
caused
much
grief when changing the Name of the WorkBook, which I do frequently.
Sometimes the OLD workbook name remains in the prefix, and sometimes
it
changes to the new workbook name.

It would be great if it worked as you describe it "should", but it
don't.
Do I maybe have a corrupt install of Excel?

Oh yeah, one other thing I noticed is that all three of the ones that
have
these prefix's are ones that I have assigned to Objects to act as
"start
buttons". Although I do have other macros assigned to other "buttons"
that
do not display the prefix's.

It isn't arbitrary. In excel itself it is dependent on the
activeworkbook.
Look at it. Change activeworkbooks and look again.

If it can't find the macro it is because you have not specified
where it
is
located. Nothing has changed from my explanation. Maybe my
explanation is
not clear but it seems clear to me.

Hi Tom.....

Thanks for the explanation, and it pretty much seems to be that
way
(here
in
XL97land) if I go to Tools Macros from within the VBE, but if I
do
it
from
the worksheet, it's a different story, more like what I described,
with
apparently arbituary assignment of the prefix's.

I just wrote two different Application.Run statements calling in
two
different SubRoutines from two different modules, both in the
active
project.
One worked fine, and the other gave error msg, "cant find the
macro".
When
I copied and pasted the macro over to the same module as the
Application.Run
statement, it worked fine......When I looked at the errant macro's
original
name from the worksheet Tools Macros, the MacroName had the
prefix
of
the
WorkbookName.

Any other thoughts?

Only the macros in the activeworkbook do not have additional
prepended
information. The minimum information to identify the macro
uniquely
is
included. If you have two macros with the same name in
different
modules,
then you will get the module name prepended as an example.

Same for application.run. If it isn't in the activeproject or
in
the
thisworkbook workbook, then you have to use the workbook name.

In 1st grade, if there was only one Chuck, the teacher said
"Chuck".
If
two, perhaps "Chuck Smith" and if the father were present and
one
was a
junior, "Chuck Smith, Jr" Same for excel.

Hi All......

When I do Tools Macro Macros, I get a nice list of all my
macros.
Only
thing is, some of them are named just the name I gave them,
and
some
include
the FileName and/or ModuleName as a prefix. I don't like
this,
and
"Application.Run ("MacroName") will not find the macro unless
I
include
that
prefix, which of course I do not want to do..........any way I
can
keep
the
Editor from assigning these prefix's, or deleting them and/or
renaming
the
macros so the new names will stick?

TIA
