Multi-word WB name
 

Excel XP & Win XP
I have 2 workbooks open, AAA.xls & BBB.xls.
I want to run macro TestBBB, located in BBB.xls, from within AAA.xls.
The code (in AAA.xls):
Application.Run ("BBB.xls!TestBBB")
works fine (thanks to Mark Dullingham).

Now change the scenario:
Change the name of the BBB.xls WB to "BB B.xls" (insert a space in the name)
The code (in AAA.xls):
Application.Run ("BB B.xls!TestBBB")
produces an error "Macro 'BB B.xls!TestBBB' cannot be found."

My question: What is the proper syntax for the Application.Run statement
when the target workbook has a multi-word name?
Thanks for your time. Otto

You need single quotes around the filename.

ie
Application.Run ("'BB B.xls'!TestBBB")

Hi, Otto,

Enclose the workbook name in single quotes.

Application.Run("'BB B.xls'!TestBBB")

Hope that helps.

How about:
Application.Run "'BB B.xls'!TestBBB"
(not ()'s required)

I like:

dim BBBWkbk as workbook
set BBBwkbk = workbooks("bb b.xls") 'or whatever
Application.Run "'" & BBBwkbk.name & "'!TestBBB"

By using a variable, I only have one location to change if/when that workbook
needs to change.
