I'd like to be able to execute a macro I've got in A.XLS on the data in
B.XLS. I'm doing this from within a VB6 app. The code I've got seems to
work great for simple executions of Macros within the same workbook, namely:

workbookObject.Application.Run sMacroName, sarg1, sarg2 ....

If sMacroName is something like "Sheet1.Macro2" all is well. However if I
try something like sMacroName = "e:\temp\B.XLS!Sheet1.Macro2" I get one of
several issues. First error I've seen while attempting in VB6 is:

"The file cannot be opend because your virus scanner has detected a problem
with the file".

If instead I attempt this via VBA code within Excel itself like so:

Run "e:\delme\tryme3.xls!ThisWorkbook.Hello"

I get an error "The macro 'e:\delme\tryme3.xls!ThisWorkbook.Hello' cannot be
found.

I know within the VBA of Excel is at least gettting to the point where it
opens the file, but for some reason it says it cannot find the macro. If I
rename the file to something that does not exist and run the same line of
code above, I get the same error as within the VB6 code, namely:
"The file cannot be opend because your virus scanner has detected a problem
with the file".

Any help is greatly appreciated.
