Centeralising Macros to control changes

[thewritings]

Hi ,
I am trying to take out as much of this coding into another Workbook
and use the Run or Call option to link to manage the macro.
This is because if changes occur I have to change all the macros in a
number of workbooks and I was lloking for a way to control the changes
centrally in one Workbook- hope this make sence so far.

I tried to set up a public variable for the "Journal =
ActiveWorkbook.Name"
Eg Public WKB As Workbook
then in the code
Set WKB = ThisWorkbook
Journal = WKB.Name

Sheets("GL Journal").Range("M3").ClearContents
UserName = Environ("UserName")
Sheets("TABLES").Range("O3").Value = UserName ' puts
username into table selection

Call upload2

BUT when it goes to the upload2 the WKB info is not retained for
use.Why is that?

Also when I try Application.Run."GL Macros.xls'!UPLOAD2" it does not go
to the Procedure,
Any ideas why this too may happen.


MANY THANKS

Be sure you place the line:

Public WKB As Workbook

in the correct place - in a standard module before any subs or functions.

This is from VBA help:

This example shows how to call the function macro My_Func_Sum, which is
defined on the macro sheet Mycustom.xlm (the macro sheet must be open). The
function takes two numeric arguments (1 and 5, in this example).

mySum = Application.Run("MYCUSTOM.XLM!My_Func_Sum", 1, 5)

Note: No period after Run and Parenthses enclose the workbook and macro
names.
The arguments 1 and 5 are optional.

If it still does not call with the correct sytax, you have somehow severed
the connection between the macro and Upload2. If Upload2 is your workbook,
then you are calling in reverse order, but I assume since you use the .xls
after GL Macros that that is the Workbook where the macro Upload2 resides.

Hi Gary,

I did place this before any Subs and functions and referenced it but
it still does not recognise it when it moves to a new workbook.
i.e. the Varient is empty.
I thought that if it was Public it would be available across all
project and workbooks?

Hi JLGWhiz,
I do not understand the use of the Function Macro.

I was looking at an alternative way to call the macro between
workbooks,
without using the Reference link , because the Journal Upload will be
used by a number of user and will save their own versiion in a
different directoty.
In John Walkers book he recommened using
Application.Run"Filename& extention!Procedure" but it does not seem to
work.
Is my syntax correct?

Thanks
