    Hi,

    it is possible to run a macro in a different workbook, which is behind a Command Button on a worksheet?

    Something like
    Application.Run (“‘[Myfile.xls]Sheet1’!CommandButton2_Click”)
    does not work for me.

    Thanks in advance

    Wolf

      The correct syntax is

      Application.Run "'Myfile.xls'!Sheet1.CommandButton2_Click"
