RunMacro Method

Description

Executes a specified macro.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Sub RunMacro( _ ByVal Filename As String _ )

Parameters

Filename: Specifies the complete path and file name of the macro file that is to be run.

Remarks

The macro name can be specified as either a file name or as the programmatic identifier of a Visual Basic OLE Automation server. Control returns to the caller as soon as the macro has been launched and activated. This implies that the macro has not necessarily completed running. In addition, launching a macro causes any running commands to be terminated.

Example
