Hi,


what's the diffrence between these two ways of calling another macro from
within a macro?

Call OtherMacro
Application.Run "OtherMacro"


Thanks,

Application.Run would normally be used to call procedures with variables,
that is store the macro name in a variable as you process, or in another
workbook.

If the macro is in the same workbook, Call is far more efficient.

You could even use Call if the macro is in another workbook, if you set a
reference (ToolsReferences) to the other workbook in the calling workbook.

Hmmmm.....


I use 'Application.Run' because it is apparrently the only way to run macros
in imported modules!

Or is it?

Is there any way to run macros in imported modules with 'Call'?


Thanks,

Thanks,

If you have imported a module then it is part of the current workbook and is
callable. If you are running code to import using VBE extensibility then
probably not.

Okey, thanks - I'll stick to 'Application.Run' then :-)

That would be if you try and call that procedure directly, you would get a
compile error. IF you created a macro in another module that called the
macro that gets imported, and call that from within the importing routine,
no need for Application.Run.

Heh, heh - clever way to get around this lack of re-compiling option :-)

But to me it tends to be a little too much calling back and forward - I'll
still stick to 'Application.Run', which gives a more direct approch...

Let's hope that MS will allow re-compiling in future releases...

Thanks for all your answers :-)
