RE: Need AS400-based magic box to insert RTF file into Worddocument

Once you have the application object, then Run will do it. You need to know the name in advance, although there is probably a way to see the list.

Run Method

Runs a Visual Basic macro.

Application.Run(MacroName, varg1, varg2, varg3, varg4, varg5, varg6, varg7, varg8, varg9, varg10, varg11, varg12, varg13, varg14, varg15, varg16, varg17, varg18, varg19, varg20, varg21, varg22, varg23, varg24, varg25, varg26, varg27, varg28, varg29, varg30)

Dan,
I don't know of anyway to run a macro from a VB program, nor do I even know that it is even possible. Unless I'm wrong, a macro is specific only to the Word, or Excel application it was created in. I could be wrong. Calling a macro from a VB program would be like calling a RPG program that turns on an indicator to highlight a field on the screen of the calling program. You don't need to call the program to turn on the indicator. Just like you don't need to call the macro because it can be taken care of in the VB program. I don't know if that makes any sense.
