Run a macro from the Visual Basic Editor (VBE)


On the Developer tab, click Visual Basic to launch the Visual Basic Editor (VBE). Browse the Project Explorer to the module that contains the macro you want to run, and open it. All of the macros in that module will be listed in the pane on the right. Select the macro you want to run, by placing your cursor anywhere within the macro, and press F5, or on the menu, go to Run > Run Macro.

Is the cursor inside the macro that you want to run when you press F5?

Perhaps you should not only press F5 but a combination like Fn+F5. Fn stands for "function" and is most likely to be found on the left bottom of your keyboard.

Remeber....laptop keyboard functions are usually different to PC keyboard functions...hence the Fn button
