Runs a VBA macro from the Application object.

Signature

VBA : object.RunMacro(MacroPath)

VL : (vl-RunMacro object MacroPath)

(vla-RunMacro applic "test.dvb!Module1.macro")

• Object : Application
  The object or objects this method applies to.

• MacroPath : String; input-only
  A string representing the calling sequence of the macro to run. The calling sequence must have the following syntax, where [] represent optional parameters:
  
  [Filename.dvb.][ProjectName.][ModuleName.]MacroName
  
  NOTE: If Filename.dvb is followed by ProjectName, separate the names with an exclamation point instead of a period, as in the following example:
  
  Filename.dvb!ProjectName
  
  The Filename.dvb specified will be loaded if it is not already loaded. If the path to the Filename.dvb is not specified, the system will look in the AutoCAD search path to try and locate the file. If ProjectName is not specified, the system will search all currently loaded projects to locate the macro.

Remarks

To associate a macro with a popup menu or toolbar item, use the Macro property
