Running a macro from a another workbook

Question

I am trying to replace on the line Application.Run "c:\\users\\navin\\test\\" with path but it won't work. (Error 1004).

Sub test()
Dim path As String
path = "c:\users\navin\test\"

Workbooks.Open (path & "excel.xlsb")

Application.Run "'c:\users\navin\test\new.xlsb!macro1'"
Workbooks("excel.xlsb").Close SaveChanges:=True
End Sub

Answer 1

Currently you open a workbook called excel.xlsb and then attempt to run a macro in a workbook called new.xslb . You also have two sets of quotes, which is likely to cause problems.

Where you attempt to run the macro, you should reference only the name of the workbook.

Application.Run "excel.xlsb!macro1"
