I want to call an existing excel 4.0 macro in a macro written in vba in excel 2002
The excel 4.0 macros are quite complex so I don't want to convert them
any ideas?

You can try using the run command

Run "XL4SheetName!NameOnXL4MacroSheet"

This is supposed to work.

Hi Dave,

Never done it myself, but VBA has an ExecuteExcel4Macro method which should
do want you want.

Oops, apparently that is only for built-ins. Found this post by Jim Rech
which explains it

ExecuteExcel4Macro is used only to execute built-in Excel 4 macro functions
not your own XL4 code. To do that from VB you have to Run it:

Run "Macro1!XL4_Code"

Here there is a cell named "XL4_Code" on the XL4 macro sheet named "Macro1".
My XL4 code begins at this cell.
