Run subroutines in other workbooks?
 

I have some code that initially opens another workbook, ie:

Set wb = Workbooks.Open ("myotherfile.xlsx")

This code opens the other workbook file and the "handle"
gets stored in the "wb" variable.

My question is, now that the workbook is open, how can
I run any of the subroutines in this other workbook???

(Assume that the "myotherfile.xlsx" file has a subroutine
named "Public Sub Foo (ByVal x as Integer)"... I would
like to call this function!)

Some have suggested that I need to use the Application.Run
method for this. Is that right?? How do I use that?

thank you

Run subroutines in other workbooks?
 

But the subroutine is located in a different workbook (that is also
open).....
How do I specify the other workbook??

I thought it would be something like:

Workbooks("otherbook.xlsm").Run Foo, 1

But that doesn't seem to work....

Don't forget that, with files that contain such characters as spaces, you'll
need to add quotes :

Application.Run "'My Other Workbook.xlsm'!Foo",1
