If you have both workbooks open, you can just call the macro by it's name (unless you've declared the Sub/Function as Private).

I tried just typing the macro name in and got the error message that sub or function had not been created.

Are both workbooks open? Also, how are you calling your functions? Can you post the code that you are calling FROM and the code that you are calling?

Thank you,

Both books are open

'Workbook "Test"
Sub CallMacro()
CallTestMacro
End Sub

'Workbook "CallTest"
Sub CallTestMacro()
Msgbox "Routine called",VBOkOnly, Thisworkbook.name
End Sub

How's about:

application.run("CallTestMacro")

instead of "CallTestMacro"

Cheers,

Try this:

Application.Run ("CallTest.xls!CallTestMacro")

Thanks all it works now....If the workbook is found to be open the macro is called.
