Hi - I have workbook1 that i'm running macros in. One of those macros brings over data from workbook 2. Workbook2 has it's own macros. Is it possible to put code into workbook1 that will run a macro in workbook2 before bringing over the data? Meaning workbook2 has a macro called "Update" can i have workbook1 tell workbook2 to run "Update"?

Thanks!

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.

Assuming workbook 2 is open and is named "workbook2.xlsm", try this line in WB1's macro:
Code: 
Application.Run "'workbook2.xlsm'!Update"
