Run macro in xlsx file

[ChristineJ]

File protect.xlsm has a short macro with shortcut key CTRL+SHIFT+B.
File test.xlsx is where I want to run the macro. I can do so if I open both files and while in test.xlsx go to Developer, Macros, Run.

Is there a way I can use the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+B while in test.xlsx to run the macro?

Yes, as long as protect.xlsm is open, just pressing the shortcut key combo should do that.

Thank you - it is working fine. My error entirely!
