Can anyone tell me if it's possible to start an Excel workbook giving the name of a macro to run. Don't want to use auto_open 'cos that runs each time they open (except hitting shift) but don't want to have to do that.

Any help appreciated
 

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)

Can you explain under what conditions you need the macro to run, please?

I wanted to run the macro from a command line (using ACCESS) eg.

excel.exe "\wiggumibbreportsExceptions Summary.xls "

but not run it if the spreadsheet is opened manually as normal.

Hope thats clear ?

cheers

Place the code in a module then use the following in Access:

Private Sub Command0_Click()

Dim xlApp, xlBook As Object

Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add("D:MrExcelCallExcelMacroTest.xls")

xlApp.Visible = True

xlApp.Application.Run "YourSubName"

Set xlApp = Nothing
Set xlBook = Nothing

End Sub
