OK....that is a good way to get around it...but...what if the macro names are
the same? Here's the problem...We have several revisions of a "cost sheet".
All the macro names are the same because the master is a template that just
gets revised over time. Someone could have 3 or 4 of these files open at
once with different revisions of the macro in each file....but the same macro
name and shortcut key. So when a shortcut key is pressed...the first macro
listed in the Macro List will take precedence.

Different shortcut combinations?

Or
In a module put this sub.

Private Sub Chooser()

If Sheets("Sheet1") = ActiveSheet Then
Call test1
Else
Call test2
End If
End Sub

Use your shortcut combination to call Sub Chooser()

There is no button involved. The macro is always executed through a
ctrl+shift+Z combination. Changing the macro name will only work if the
macro name in the current sheet alphabetically comes before the macro in
the
other sheet. But then...when you switch back to the other sheet...you
will
be executing the wrong macro in that sheet.

Try changing one of the macro names and, of course, the code for the
associated button.

If you have 2 Excel files open which both have macro's named the same
and
assigned to the same shortcut key...it does not execute the current
sheet's
macro. It runs the other sheets macro because it is listed first in
the
global macro listing.
Is there a way to make it run the macro from the workbook that you are
in?

ex.
I have 2 files...one called Test1.xls and the other Test2.xls....both
having
Macro's assigned to ctrl+shift+Z. If I'm in Test2.xls....it will run
the
Test1.xls macro.
