Run Macro in one worksheet from a button on another worksheet

[joecrabtree]

To all,

I have written a macro that does various things in a worksheet called
DATA. At the moment I am running in by using a button in this
worksheet, so that when the user clicks it, it runs.

However I wish to place a button on the main worksheet called WELCOME
and to run the macro in the DATA spreadsheet. Is it possible to do this
without rewriting the macro that I have in the DATA worksheet?

Thanks in advance,

Regards

As the macro executes, it needs to know on what sheet to perform its
operations:


Sub demo()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Sheets("DATA")
ws.Range("A1").Value = 1
End Sub

tells the macro that DATA is the sheet to change, not the ActiveSheet.

If your macro is NOT 'private' you should be able to access it from any
sheet in the workbook. Have you tried attaching it to a button on the
WELCOME worksheet?
