How To - Call Procedure from a Different Global Template

[plsmith]

Hi,

While runnnig a procedure in GlobalTemplate-B, I want to call a
procedure from GlobalTemplate-A. I can't recall the method for doing
this. Can you help?

Thank you!

Hi (e-mail address removed)

The procedure you want to call has to be declared as Public as it needs to be visible
outside of the project you defined it in. You can then (preferably) create a project
Reference in the template making the call to the template containing the code you are
calling.

Other than that you can use Application.Run *but* it can be *very* flakey, use this method
with extreme caution as it doesn't always work and certainly not as advertised.

HTH + Cheers - Peter

The only reliable way I've seen to do this is to load up the template
temporarily as an Add-In and use the Application.Run "Module.Procedure"
method of calling it. Don't try to use Application.Run with the
"Project.Module.Procedure" method because that's not reliable.

Hi Chad Knudson

A Project Reference between the two Add-Ins is infinitely preferable.
Since the OP is taking about Global Templates (Add-Ins) they will presumably already be
loaded as Add-Ins.
