Using Application.Run in Excel VBA when workbook name contains spaces

Application.Run "MyWorkBook.xls!Macro1"

will work (run the ma开发者_开发知识库cro called Macro1 in the MyWorkBook.xls file).

Application.Run "My Work Book.xls!Macro1"

will not work (if the workbook name contains spaces, Excel says "the macro cannot be found").

I just spent hours figuring out that it's the spaces causing this problem...

Is there a way around this without renaming the file?

Use single quotes surrounding the filename:

Application.Run "'My Work Book.xls'!Macro1"

---

Replace each of the spaces with %20

Application.Run "My%20Work%20Book.xls!Macro1"

Here File_name is the name of the file for which you want to call your macro

• Application.run "'"+File_name+"'"+"!Macro"
• Single quote in between double quote followed by + File_name + single quote in between double quote + your macro name in between double quotes.
