OK, what I would like to do is run the following code from Access.
It's an Excel macro that I'd like to have stored in the DB so that a
user doesn't have to install anything. What is the easiest way to
accomplish this?

Here's some code I adapted from some code written by Dev Ashish. It opens
the workbook and runs two different macros. Each one takes info from
another workbook and imports it getting ready to then transfer it to Access
as a table in another function not shown here.

It opens the document, and then hangs.

Again, any help is appreciated.
 
Where are the Macros stored though?

The basic premise is that the user will open the DB, click a button,
and Access will open the xls file, run the code, and then save the
file (or hopefully in the future, import to a table in the DB.)

They won't have the macro installed anywhere, so how do I run the
macros that aren't installed yet?



Here's some code I adapted from some code written by Dev Ashish.  It opens
the workbook and runs two different macros.  Each one takes info from
another workbook and imports it getting ready to then transfer it to Access
as a table in another function not shown here.

Where are the Macros stored though?

The basic premise is that the user will open the DB, click a button,
and Access will open the xls file, run the code, and then save the
file (or hopefully in the future, import to a table in the DB.)

They won't have the macro installed anywhere, so how do I run the
macros that aren't installed yet?



Here's some code I adapted from some code written by Dev Ashish. It
opens
the workbook and runs two different macros. Each one takes info from
another workbook and imports it getting ready to then transfer it to
Access
as a table in another function not shown here.

Instead of using the macro, use automation to execute the commands
from Access. (most excell actions can be executed from within access.)

Here is an example of executing excell actions from Access: (In this
scenario, two queries are exported into the spreadsheet, then this
code is executed to move pieces of the exported data into fairly
elaborately formated worksheets within the spreadsheet and then more
formating is applied to the spreadsheet. The whole process is part of
vba code on a button click within Access.)

Sorry, what I meant was they didn't have the Macros installed. Excel
is installed on all PC's.

In that case, you can revise your macro code (per Ron's reply) and put
the code directly into Access.
 
In my case I wanted to move some information from a workbook1 to Access.
So that I wouldn't mess up workbook1, I created a new workbook2
(ExcelToAccessImport.xls) and created macros in it to copy data from
workbook1 and manipulate it to make it easier to transfer into Access. e.g
I had to transform some data.
My code in Access opens workbook2 and runs the macros which go out to the
workbook1 and bring data back into workbook2. Further code in Access then
transfers workbook2 data into Access tables.
So the Excel macros are in workbook2, and there is code in Access to
transfer complete worksheets to Access tables.
I did it this way becuase I was unfamiliar with Excel code, and used the
Record macro function in Excel to create the code I needed, cleaning it up
once I got the hang of it.

Ron's method moves the macro to Access and performs the actions from there.

OK, what I would like to do is run the following code from Access.
It's an Excel macro that I'd like to have stored in the DB so that a
user doesn't have to install anything. What is the easiest way to
accomplish this?

Do you know what line the code is stopping at?
And the error code or description?
