Automating macro to run macro from Access

[Cam]

Hello,

I have an Excel file with several sheets of data from source in Access
macro. What is the macro code to call the macro named "CreateData" in Access
macro, then run refresh all in Excel to refresh all worksheets?
The manual way I am doing right now is:
1) Open Access file, then run the macro named "CreateData"
2) Open Excel file, then run an Excel macro called "Refresh" to refresh all
worksheets.

Would like to perform all at once in Excel. Thank you

Hello Gary,

Thanks for your help. A question I am not sure what is it in the code.

'run an Access PROCEDURE
appAccess.Run "MyProcedure"

I am not sure what procedure is it. Also your second response, what is it
function?
