Thanks.Look at the _Excel* functions of the Excel.au3 UDF. Once you open the workbook, you should be able to do $oExcel.Run("Macro_Name"). Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

mpcluever Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I'm not finding that function in Excel.au3
PsaltyDS Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I'm not finding that function in Excel.au3The use of the object method $oExcel.Run("Macro_Name") is not in the UDF. The .Run method is part of the Excel workbook object. I meant use the function _ExcelBookAttach(), _ExcelBookNew(), or _ExcelBookOpen() to get the object reference in $oExcel. Then, you can run a macro by doing $oExcel.Run("Macro_Name"). Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

I have tried the $oExcel.Run("Move") Move being my macro name and it gives me an error: Expected a "a" in assignment statement.... What is wrongDo I need more than one line of code to run this macro?
