It's just as the title says I have a workbook and I want to use a very large macro that calls other macro's but all this is based in another workbook.
Is this possbile or do I have to copy all the original macro's from the MASTER workbook in to the duplicate workbook and access it from there?
 

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Do you mean you want to run the macro manually, or in code in the other workbook?

In code you use Application.Run:
Code:
Application.Run "'workbook name.xls'!macro_name"
for example. If you need to pass arguments, you can do so as arguments to Run, but be aware that any objects are passed ByVal, not ByRef.

What have I done wrong as this just gets to your line and then errors?

Private Sub CommandButton11_Click()

On Error GoTo ERR
Windows("Customer_Returns_Log.xls").Activate

CONT1:
Application.Run "'Customer_Returns_Log.xls'!CRF_CRL_V2"
Exit Sub

ERR:
Workbooks.Open Filename:="H:\Data_Base\Customer_Returns\Customer_Returns_Log.xls"
GoTo CONT1
End Sub

What does the CRF_CRL_V2 routine look like? Does it take any arguments? Where is it located (which module)?

This is located in Module 4 in the Customer Return Log.xls
