current workbook name
Hi,
I have a Master workbook called "MESSER" to be used over and over by new people. Upon first use, the name of the workbook is changed to whatever name. The following statement: Application.Run "MESSER.xls!Sort_by_ID" obiously doesn't work in the new workbook with a different name. Is there anyway to have "MESSER.xls" replaced by an expression which reflects the new workbook name i.e. the 'currentworkbookname' whatever that is? thanks Helmut |

current workbook name
Hi Stefi,
It works in the original workbook, but after a NEW workbook was created with another name, int that new workbook it gives me the RunTimeError.

current workbook name
How is a new workbook created? By copying the original MESSER.XLS to a new
name or MESSER.XLS is opened and saved as another workbook e.g. in Workbook_open event or ... ? Can you stop the macro at line Application.Run Thisworkbook.Name & "!Sort_by_ID" and debug Thisworkbook.Name?
