I am trying to write a macro that will check to see if a newer version of the
workbook that is being run exists. If it does, my thought was to pass control to a second workbook, close the first, copy/update the first workbook and restart the first workbook and finally close out the second. While I understand how to run a macro in another workbook, if I close the first workbook the second workbook macros just stop. Below is my code example, any ideas? Or indeed is there a much smarter way to do this? Because of course this will cause the Enable macro's message several times. In Workbook1: Sub Start() Workbooks.Open Filename:="Workbook2.xls" Run "Workbook2.xls" & "!MyMacro2", param1, param2, param3 ThisWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False End Sub Sub MyMacro1() ' continue doing stuff End Sub In Workbook2: Sub MyMacro2(param1, param2, param3) ' Do stuff Workbooks.Open Filename:="Workbook1.xls" Run "Workbook1.xls" & "!MyMacro1" ThisWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False End Sub -- Trefor |
