Thanks Dave, much appreciated. Your input helped me solve the issue.

The correct specification of the sub-routine invocation is:

Application.Run "MyMacros.xls!TestMsg.TestMsg"

i.e. WorkbookName!ModuleName.SubroutineName

It appears that ModuleName needs to be specified when there is more
than one module defined.

In the future, what I will follow as best practice:

Hit Alt-F8 to open the Available Macros window
Single Click the desired macro
Cut and Paste the full macro name from the Macro name: text entry
field in the Available Macros window

Thanks,
Scott

My next guess is that there is at least one spelling mistake -- either in the
open workbook's name -- or in the macro name.

My first suggestion is to make sure that TestMsg is in a General module -- not
under ThisWorkbook and not behind a worksheet.

Hi,

I have a subroutine defined in my auto start workbook, which is named
MyMacros.xls:

MyMacros.xls:

Option Explicit

Sub TestMsg()
* * * MsgBox "Test Message"
End Sub

I want to run this macro whenever the save event runs in another
workbook, say temp.xls:

Temp.xls:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As
Boolean)
* * * Application.Run "MyMacros.xls!TestMsg"
End Sub

This doesn't work. *I get the error message:

The macro 'MyMacros.xls!TestMsg' cannot be found. *I'm positive
MyMacros.xls is open (even if the workbook is hidden). *Alt-F11 shows
MyMacros.xls is open and the TestMsg module is defined.

How can I call the TestMsg sub-routine whenever I click Save in
another workbook?

Thanks,
Scott
