Hi folks, Quite offtopic, but someone will have done this, I'm sure <g>. A client wants our app to launch Word against an arbitrary document and run an arbitrary (user defineable) macro which is NOT part of that document but is in Normal.dot or some other "generalised" place. Is there a way to do this *without* getting into COM, e.g. from the command line, such as: Winword.exe mydocument.doc /runmacro ThisIsMyMacro ?? Failing that, could someone more VBA-aware than we suggest an alternate approach (even a way to make a given system-wide macro always run, no matter what document is opened? That way, we'll have to put the onus on the macro to detect the kind of document the client WANTS it to run against -- feasible I guess).
