I've set up a Sheet as follows: In a Standard Module I've created 9 Macros. Here's a sample of My Macro, say only Cat4:
Code: 
Sub Cat4()
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").ListColumns(3).Range.Select
End Sub

I want to be able to Double-Click on Cell D7 (which includes the text Cat4) and With my Double-Click event below run it

My Single Event macro is currently:
Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim MyMacro As String
Cancel = True
MyMacro = Target.Value
Run MyMacro
End Sub


But I'm Getting a RT 1004 at line 5: Run MyMacro

Can this be "Repaired" so as to work?

TIA,

Jim

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Sort by date Sort by votes
You could use a SELECT CASE instead with the required code for each case.

Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim MyMacro As String
Cancel = True
MyMacro = Target.Value
Select Case MyMacro
Case "Cat1"
     --code from Cat1 macro--
Case "Cat2"
     --code from Cat2 macro--
End Case
End Sub
Not as elegant or well structured but it would work

Jim,

The syntax appears correct. I was able to use the below testing code and it worked with no problems:

Code: 
Public Sub test()
MsgBox "foo"
End Sub

Public Sub test2()
Dim str As String
str = "test"
Run str
End Sub

Does the problem still happen at the same location if you step through the code?

Johnny - THANKS!!

I now have the following in my Sheet1 Code:
Rich (BB code): 
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim MyMacro
Cancel = True
MyMacro = Target.Value
Select Case MyMacro
    Case "Cat1"
        ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").Range.Select
    Case "Cat2"
        ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").HeaderRowRange.Select
    Case "Cat3"
        ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").DataBodyRange.Select
    Case "Cat4"
        ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").ListColumns(3).Range.Select
    Case "Cat5"
        ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").ListColumns(3).DataBodyRange.Select
    Case "Cat6"
        ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").ListRows(4).Range.Select
    Case "Cat7"
        ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").HeaderRowRange(3).Select
    Case "Cat8"
        ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").DataBodyRange(3, 2).Select
    Case "Cat9"
        ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").TotalsRowRange.Select
    Case Else
    'Do Nothing
End Select
End Sub

On my Spreadsheet now Double-Clicking on My Cells D4 thru D11 (Cat1 tp Cat8) It Works!!! But when I double-click on cell D12 (Cat9) I get RT error 9:
Object variable or With Block variable not set.

And, of course the line:

ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").TotalsRowRange.Select

is HIGHLIGHTED in YELLOW wnem I click on the Debug Option Button...

Any thoughts?

TKs,

Jim
