I would use a VBScript rather than an exe file. Open Notepad, and

Set XL=CreateObject("Excel.Application")
XL.Visible=True
XL.Workbooks.Open "C:\A.xls"
XL.Run "A.xls!TheMacro"


Change "C:\A.xls" to the appropriate file name. Change
"A.xls!!TheMacro" to the workbook name and macro name.

Save the file as a vbs file, e.g., RunIt.vbs rather than a txt file.

Then, all the user needs to do is double click the vbs file and Excel
will start, open C:\A.xls and execute TheMacro.

Hi

I have written a complex macro in excel and now have to distribute it to
co-workers. However, I want to create an executable file which will run the
macro directly (will open the userform in my macro).

Is there any chance of doing so?

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot Chip for this solution, however if i want to run a macro using using this and also want to pass parameters, how can i do that?
