Run macro from another workbooks

[Dokat]

Hi,

I have a workbook that I'd like to a run code that needs to trigger codes in other two workbooks..
Below is the code i am using. First two lines are to trigger codes in other two workbooks. The name of the code in those workbooks is Run under Summary sheet. Under the In each workbook Run Macro calls for other Macro's to run.

Below code is under thisworkbook module. When I run the code below it returns Run Time Error 1004.. I can run the codes without any issues by opening each workbook however I am not able to right from the active workbook.. What may cause this problem? Is below code not correct?

Sub RunAll()

Application.Run "'C:\Users\dokat\OneDrive - BIC\BIC\Power BI\Trade Report\Upload Data\2017-2022 6 Year Trended PnL by L3 - YTD.xlsm'!Summary.Run"
Application.Run "'C:\Users\dokat\OneDrive - BIC\BIC\Power BI\Trade Report\Upload Data\2017-2022 6 Year Trended PnL by L3 - Month.xlsm'!Summary.Run"
Call CopyPasteMTDYTD

End Sub

Hi Dokat,
Are the two listed workbooks open at the time of trying to run them from the third workbook? if not you might need to open them first. Can include this in your macro to open the two other files..

No they are not. They are closed at the time of running the code.

Hi Dokat,
Best try adding some code to open the other workbooks prior to trying to access their macros. You can then close them again after if you don't need them any more. Excel can only execute open code.
I have one workbook that contains all of my macros. It's opened as an add in so they are always available.
