Hi all, im trying to save myself time by running a macro from another workbook to open all files in a specified file and then run the macro in newly opened file. The issue im finding is I dont know how to reference the macro in the newly opened workbook so getting the error "Sub or Function not defined". Does anyone have any ideas?

VBA Code:
Sub AllFiles()

    Dim folderPath As String
    Dim filename As String
    Dim wb As Workbook
  
    'Fill in the path\folder where the files are
    folderPath = GetFolder
    'cancel pressed
    If Len(folderPath) = 0 Then Exit Sub

    'Add a slash at the end if the user forget it
    If Right(folderPath, 1) <> "\" Then
        folderPath = folderPath & "\"
    End If

    'If there are no Excel files in the folder exit the sub
    FilesInPath = Dir(folderPath & "*.xlsm*")
    If FilesInPath = "" Then
        MsgBox "No files found"
        Exit Sub
    End If

    
    filename = Dir(folderPath & "*.xlsm")
    Do While filename <> ""
      Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        Set wb = Workbooks.Open(folderPath & filename)
         
        'Call a subroutine here to operate on the just-opened workbook
        Call Copy
        
        
        ' Save and Close the file

wb.Save

wb.Close
        
        filename = Dir
        
    Loop
    
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
  
End Sub

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Hi there,

Untested but try this:

VBA Code:
wb.Application.Run("Copy")

Regards,

Robert
