Delete a macro using a macro

[StephenT]

Hello, I have written a macro to clean my workbook before publishing, and I
would like to delete a macro using this macro.

Can someone please help with the code to delete a macro?

This won't break the internet will it?

Hi StephenT

Try this if "Trust access to VBA project object model" is checked if the macro is in Module1


Sub RunMacroAndDeletModule()
MsgBox "By module1"
With ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents
.Remove .Item("Module1")
End With
End Sub

Thanks Rob

Unfortunately no joy there.

The code works if I record a new macro called Module1 (the macro calls
itself 'myworksheet.xls'!Module1.Module1). The code then deletes that new
module.

But if I try to replace the "Module1" with my own macro that I want to
delete "deleteme1" then it doesn't work i.e. :

Sub RunMacroAndDeletModule()
MsgBox "By deleteme1"
With ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents
.Remove .Item("deleteme1")
End With
End Sub

Any advice for killing my macro called "deleteme1"? I also have other macros
that I don't want deleted at the same time

thanks
S

Why not add the macro in a sperate module ?

Oh I get it... Put all the macros you need to delete in their own module,
then delete the module using your original code.

Works now, thanks!
