Run acces macro in vba code

[Edi110787]

Helo,

I use the following vba code to run a macro from an access database, but I get the error "Run-time error '2501' : the run macro action was canceled".

Dim A As Object
Set A = CreateObject("Access.Application")
A.Visible = True
A.OpenCurrentDatabase ("C:\D\Raport macro reconciliere\Raport Reconciliere.accdb")
A.DoCmd.RunMacro "Macro"
A.CloseCurrentDatabase

End Sub

Thank you very much

It's odd to me that you would use code to run an Access macro rather than using code to run Access code. Anyway, step through your macro and see what's happening. It's likely that it is cancelling itself because of a conditional setting, or it's raising an error. That's the issue with Access macros - they don't have much in the way of error handling capability.

The access macro runs 100% manually with no issues.

I think I missed the mark. Unless the two apps are asynchronous (that I don't know) then as soon as you command to run the macro you are closing the db. Comment out the close line and see what happens.

I think Micron is right on. There is nothing in the code telling it to wait for the macro to finish running before closing the database.

Maybe make a version of the Macro that ends with a "Close database" command - so it is part of the Access Macro you are calling, and remove it from your Excel VBA code.
Then you won't run into this problem.

Alternatively, another method would be to add a pause to your Excel VBA code before the database closure step. You just need to be sure to choose some ample amount of time to ensure that your Access Macro finishes first.
