Default Activate Macro Button Located In Another File

Hello,
My macro is located in macro.xls. How do you create the flexibilty to
be able rename this file and still be able to call it within another
file?

When I assign a button towards another file called Template.xls, I have
(Both files are opened at this point):
With mybutton
..OnAction="'Macro.xls'!ClearTemplate"
End With

If Macro.xls changes name prior to assign the button, how do I alter the
OnAction line? I've tried fiddling with;
Set curwksmacro = ActiveSheet
but I just couldn't point the OnAction line to refer to curwksmacro's
ClearTemplate macro.

Please help.

Thanks,
Aria

The code to assign the macro to the button is in the same file?

With mybutton
OnAction= "'" & thisworkbook.name & "'!ClearTemplate"
End With

Hi Dave,
It works. Thank-you so much. Yes, the code to assign the macro is also
within macro.xls.

Thank-you so much.
