HI,

I have a 4 workbooks which my users might want to access at the same
time. I have a timer module that is used over all four books and runs
from personal.xls. I would like to call a sub kept in the active
workbook from within the timer module of personal.xls, Can anyone shed
some light how I would achieve this.

Many thanks

Don

Application.Run("workbook.xls!macro",arg1,arg2,etc )

Thanks for reply but as mentioned in op this could be one of four
workbooks (in fact more) so I would not know which workbook.xls to
specify. Can I use wildcards?

Maybe...(untested)

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim ok As Boolean
Dim wkbk As Workbook

ok = False
For Each wkbk In Application.Workbooks
On Error Resume Next
Application.Run "'" & wkbk.Name & "'!macronamehere", "parm1"
If Err.Number < 0 Then
Err.Clear
Else
ok = True
Exit For
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Next wkbk

If ok = False Then
MsgBox "Failed!"
Else
MsgBox "may it worked???"
End If

End Sub
