Executing macro in one book from another.

[michaelberrier]

I'm attempting to adapt Chip Pearson's code for deleting all code in a
workbook to run from a different workbook.

I've tried adding "With Workbooks("Book1") before the code in Book2,
but that still deletes all the code in Book2. Here is the code that I
started with:

Sub DeleteAllVBA()

Dim VBComp As VBIDE.VBComponent
Dim VBComps As VBIDE.VBComponents

Set VBComps = ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents

For Each VBComp In VBComps
Select Case VBComp.Type
Case vbext_ct_StdModule, vbext_ct_MSForm, _
vbext_ct_ClassModule
VBComps.Remove VBComp
Case Else
With VBComp.CodeModule
.DeleteLines 1, .CountOfLines
End With
End Select
Next VBComp

End Sub
Thanks for the help.

Hi Michael,

I'm attempting to adapt Chip Pearson's code for deleting all code in a
workbook to run from a different workbook.

I've tried adding "With Workbooks("Book1") before the code in Book2,
but that still deletes all the code in Book2. Here is the code that I
started with:

Try replacing

Set VBComps = ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents

with

Set VBComps = Workbooks("Book2"). _
VBProject.VBComponents

or

Set VBComps = Workbooks("Book2.xls"). _
VBProject.VBComponents

if the workbook has been saved

Norman,
That works great. Now, I'd like to make the book that code will be
delete from dynamic based on the value of a combobox in a userform.
I've tried some subsitituions in the code but can't make it work. Any
ideas?

thanks again.

Try:

Dim VBComp As VBIDE.VBComponent
Dim VBComps As VBIDE.VBComponents
Dim WB as workbook

Set WB= Workbooks( UserForm1.ComboBox1.Value & ".xls")

Set VBComps = WB.VBProject.VBComponents
