I suspect that this is an elementary question, but I have not had to code an application object in the past. There is a single Workbook open, named Test.xlsm, with a single Worksheet, Sheet1. I would like to use the Application.Run Method to run Excel Macros. is the proper way to specify the Application ojbject for use with the Application.Run method. The macro that I wish to run has no parameters. The code:

Sub CodeRun()
Worksheets("Sheet1").Run (Setval)
End Sub

Sub Setval()
Cells(4, 4).Value = 8
End Sub

gives an "Expected Function or Variable" error.

Test.xlsm
D
4
Sheet1


Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).
Sorry for the poor grammar above the question should read:

I would pass the sheet name as a parameter and use Call
VBA Code:
Sub CodeRun()
Call Setval("Sheet1")
End Sub

Sub Setval(strSheetName As String)
Worksheets(strSheetName).Cells(4, 4).Value = 8
End Sub
