Unable to run Excel addin procedure from Word
Hi!
I'm trying to run an Excel Addin which is password protected and therefore I cannot have it's code. I'm able to run the main procedure from Excel, by: Application.Run "Main_Procedure_Name" (I know the main procedure name) The problem is that if I try to run this code from Word, by defining an Excel object (named XLApp), and running the following command: XLApp.Run "Main_Procedure_Name", It cannot find the procedure. It's weird because problem is solved if I move the Addin control to the main command bar, and runs the following command instead of XLAPP.Run "Main_Procedure_Name": XLApp.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("MyAddinControlCaption").Execute. (Replacing "MyAddinControlCaption" with the real caption of the addin button.) Therefore it seems that it's not a problem with my Excel object definition, or something, but I have no explanation why it can find the procedure when it's executed when Excel is opened regularely (not by Word macro), but it can't find it (though able to activate it using a control) when it's executed by Word Macro. Macro works fine using the solution of moving the Addin control to the main control bar and using the XLApp.CommandBars.....Execute command, but I don't want to move the Addin control to the main command bar in each of the computers I wish to install the macro on.. Kind Regards, Amir. |

Amir,
I believe you need to add the name of the workbook to the Run method... XLApp.Run "WorkbookName.xla!Main_Procedure_Name" Jim Cone San Francisco, USA "Amir" wrote in message ... Hi!

Hi Amir,
Try searching for "excel password protection" on google. There are lots of tools that can help you find the password for an excel add-in where the password is not available, like when a developer has left the company etc. If you can get into the code then yuo'll be able to do whatever you want. -- www.alignment-systems.com "Amir" wrote: Hi!

Hi,
I've tried that but it refuses to work unless this function/macro runs from Excel itself, and not from Word.. "Kaak" wrote in message ...
