You can use automation to instantiate an MSAccess object. &nbsp;That will then allow you to invoke the .DoCMD method of the object to run the macro.

I have code where I dont reference access in my project itself. &nbsp;Can I execute a macro using the folliowing code? &nbsp;I dont see the DoCmd options under my properties. &nbsp;I would rather just use something similar to what I have and not reference access. &nbsp;Here is what I use now:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Set wsAccessWs = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Set dbAccessDb = wsAccessWs.OpenDatabase(Ap<wbr />p.Path &amp;&nbsp;gsDBName, False, False)<br />
<br />
the dbAccessDb has .execute and then a query name. &nbsp;But I dont see anything for executing a macro. &nbsp;Thanks all.

Executing Access Macro in Visual Basic 6.0

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
