Hi,

I am trying to run a macro in another workbook using variable name but it will not work.
Works when I specify the fie name but I have 25 files so the variable would help.


Here is a sample:
The first one works with the full name but the second will not work.

1. Application.Run ("'Smith John - Call Adherence Reporting 2013_SD.xls'!Master_Module")
2. Application.Run (Wb2.Name & "!" & ".Master_Module")

Thanks in advance,

BJ.

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Are you sure Wb2.Name is returning what you need?

Hi,

This may just be a typo for this post or your problem.
There's a full stop in front of .Master_Module on the second.

Other than that I can only think it is path related.

Code:
Application.Run (Wb2.Name & "!" & "[COLOR=#ff0000].[/COLOR]Master_Module")

You need:
Code:
Application.Run "'" & Wb2.Name & "'!Master_Module"
if you may have spaces in the file name.
