Title:
Can't run Excel macro
I have a macro that i have saved into my "Personal Macros Folder" - which excel saves in a personal.xls file. The file and macro are:
C:\windows\application data\microsoft\excel\xlstart\personal.xls!FormatDisp
I need to open up approx 85 spreadsheets and run this macro. When i run this macro after manually starting excel and opening one of the spreadsheets, the macro runs fine. If i run the following code:
oExcel = CREATEOBJECT("Excel.Application")
oExcel.Visible = .T.
oWorkbook = oExcel.Workbooks.Open(fName)
oWorkbook.Application.Visible = .T.
oWorkbook.Windows[1].Activate()
oExcel.Application.Run("C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\Personal.XLS!FormatDisp")
I get a msg that the macro does not exist. But it does. The msg is:
OLE Idispatch exception code the macro C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\Personal.XLS!FormatDisp cannot be found.
I have checked the spelling of the file and the macro name several times and they are correct.
Any ideas?
