hi, im using code
'Macro purpose: Use the application.run method to execute
'a macro without arguments from another workbook

Dim PathToFile As String, _
NameOfFile As String, _
wbTarget As Workbook, _
CloseIt As Boolean

'Set file name and location. You will need to update this info!
NameOfFile = "German Home Results Predictor 2007.xls"
PathToFile = "C:\Documents and Settings\Robert\Desktop\FOOTBALL
\Soccer Predictions\german\Home"

'Attempt to set the target workbook to a variable. If an error
is
'generated, then the workbook is not open, so open it
On Error Resume Next
Set wbTarget = Workbooks(NameOfFile)

If Err.Number <> 0 Then
'Open the workbook
Err.Clear
Set wbTarget = Workbooks.Open(PathToFile & "\" & NameOfFile)
CloseIt = True
End If

'Check and make sure workbook was opened
If Err.Number = 1004 Then
MsgBox "Sorry, but the file you specified does not exist!" _
& vbNewLine & PathToFile & "\" & NameOfFile
Exit Sub
End If
On Error GoTo 0

'Run the macro! (You will need to update "MacroName" to the
'name of the macro you wish to run)
Application.Run (wbTarget.Name & "!collectdata")

If CloseIt = True Then
'If the target workbook was opened by the macro, close it
wbTarget.Close savechanges:=True
Else
'If the target workbook was already open, reactivate this
workbook
ThisWorkbook.Activate


to run a macro from one work book to another. When I try to run the
macro I get the error cannot find....Yet Ive used this with a
different macro inanother workbook and it runs perfect. I wondering if
theres a setting that could be on in one workbook but not the other.
Any advice appreciated.
RegardsRobert
