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!
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Assuming workbook 2 is open and is named "workbook2.xlsm", try this line in WB1's macro:
Code:
Application.Run "'workbook2.xlsm'!Update"
