Help Run Method

Run method as it applies to the Application object.

Runs a macro or calls a function. This can be used to run a macro written in Visual Basic or the Microsoft Excel macro language, or to run a function in a DLL or XLL.

expression.Run(Macro, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, Arg4, Arg5, Arg6, Arg7, Arg8, Arg9, Arg10, Arg11, Arg12, Arg13, Arg14, Arg15, Arg16, Arg17, Arg18, Arg19, Arg20, Arg21, Arg22, Arg23, Arg24, Arg25, Arg26, Arg27, Arg28, Arg29, Arg30)
expression Required. An expression that returns an Application object.

Macro Optional Variant. The macro to run. This can be either a string with the macro name, a Range object indicating where the function is, or a register ID for a registered DLL (XLL) function. If a string is used, the string will be evaluated in the context of the active sheet.

Arg1-Arg30 Optional Variant. The arguments that should be passed to the function.

Remarks
You cannot use named arguments with this method. Arguments must be passed by position.

The Run method returns whatever the called macro returns. Objects passed as arguments to the macro are converted to values (by applying the Value property to the object). This means that you cannot pass objects to macros by using the Run method.

Example
This example shows how to call the function macro My_Func_Sum, which is defined on the macro sheet Mycustom.xlm (the macro sheet must be open) . The function takes two numeric arguments (1 and 5, in this example).

mySum = Application.Run("MYCUSTOM.XLM!My_Func_Sum", 1, 5)
MsgBox "Macro result: " & mySum
