Question

Is it possible to launch an Excel Macro from command line?

I don’t want to use the Worksheet_Open event and just open the Excel File.

I need to launch specific macro that exists in the Excel WorkBook.

Answer 1

I finally created a VB Script and launched it from the command line:

Option Explicit

    LaunchMacro

    Sub LaunchMacro() 
      Dim xl
      Dim xlBook      
      Dim sCurPath

      sCurPath = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetAbsolutePathName(".")
      Set xl = CreateObject("Excel.application")
      Set xlBook = xl.Workbooks.Open(sCurPath & "\MyWorkBook.xlsm", 0, True)        
      xl.Application.Visible = True
      xl.Application.run "MyWorkBook.xlsm!MyModule.MyMacro"
      xl.DisplayAlerts = False      
      xlBook.saved = True
      xl.activewindow.close
      xl.Quit

      Set xlBook = Nothing
      Set xl = Nothing

    End Sub
