Calling a macro in another open Excel workbook, Excel automatically adds path and hence cannot find macro.
Hi!
This happens in Excel 2013:
1. I open a macro enabled workbook A
2. In that workbook A, I open workbook B using a macro calling a template B0.
3. Both workbooks A and B0 are stored in the same directory C:\Excelstuff\myDir
4. In Workbook B, there is a button connected to a macro.
5. The macro is stored in Workbook A.
6. In the properties of the button in workbook B0 (tablet), the reference entered is to WorkbookA!This workbook.Macro1
7.When I try to click the button in the newly opened workbook A, it tells me that the macro cannot be found. The reason is that the path C:\Excelstuff\myDir is automatically added in front of WorkbookA!ThisWorkbook.Mac
Can anyone please help!
Thanks!

Now it works as expected.
In your question you seem to swap between referring to "B0" as a 'template', a 'tablet', & a 'workbook', so am I not entirely sure what it being called within "B0", but can you move "Macro1" in "WorkbookA" from 'ThisWorkbook' to a Public code module to establish if the reason for it not being found is because it is Private to "WorkbookA"?
