moved macros to new book, now not working

[lallen]

I thought I posted this problem last night, but I can't find it anywhere. My
apologies if I've posted it twice.

I moved some macros to a new workbook, so they could be shared amongst
multiple workbooks. In order to run the code in the new location, I changed
the worksheet_activate sub in the originating sheet as follows:

from Call Macro1("Parm1")
to Application.Run "'_Workbook2.xls'!Macro1(""Parm1"")"

Now some of the code doesn't work. For example:

With Worksheets("Sheet1")
.Columns("A:I").ClearContents ' does nothing
.Cells(10, 3) = "line 1" ' works
End With

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
