Hi,
Can a macro be issued from another macro in another workbook?
i have a macro which copies cell contents, opens another workbook and looks
in range for a matching number. i can get as far as using one macro to copy
the selection and open the workbook, and another macro to select the sheet
required, match the number and paste the contents. However, i cannot issue
the other workbook macro from my button. i need to be able to start the other
macro with a command or correct input to start it.
my thought was
[personal.xls]workcell ( but this doesn't work )

Kind Regards,

Nigel

Nigel,

Try something like


Application.Run "myBook.xls!myMacro()"

or if it has an arguement

Application.Run "myBook.xls!myMacro", "hello you"
