I'd like to run macro function "ExcelTestMacro" stored in "C:\Test.xls"
(which is already open), when the new mail massage comes.

I can call macro in Outlook from Excel easily for example by :
Call ", "Test","C:\test.xls")

But I could not call Excel macro from Outlook that way.
I allowed access to Visual basic Project and tried:
Set MyExBook = Excel.Application.Workbooks.open("C:\Test.xls")
call MyExBook.ExcelTestMacro
but there appears Run-Time error 'Object does not support this property or
method'. Of course I'm doing something wrong...

Somebody please help and tell me what to do

The Excel Application object knows a Run method. Probably that helps.

I tried "Run" but there is the same result.
I don't know exactly, but I think the problem is in the way I'm connecting
to the excel file. I tried:
1. GetObject("C:\Test.xls")
2. Excel.Application.Workbooks.Open("C:\Test.xls")

I don't know is there any other way to open excel file and call function
stored there? Logically, if excel macro can call outlook macros, Outlook
should do the same also - both of them are microsoft products and use VBA.
But how???

Pleeease help....

Please read the VBA help for the Application.Run function, there´s also a
sample. As I understand it, you don´t need to open the workbook, but need
the Excel Application object.

Calling Outook VBA methods from outside isn´t documented, i.e. it works for
the time being but you can´t rely on that. And there´s no reason that it
must work for any other application, too.

Michael,
I read this help topic but had some problems - in outlook I wrote:
Excel.Application.run("C:Test.xls!GetDataFromMail" ,"aaaaa") , but it coused
error "The macro 'C:\Test.xls!GetDataFromMail' could not be found."

I'd like to describe the whole process in detailes to make it clear:
My target is to initiate macros in excel file when Outlook receives a new
mail . For this purpose I wrote in "ThisOutlookSession" following Sub:

Private Sub Application_NewMailEx(ByVal EntryIDCollection As String)
Dim MyMeil As Outlook.MailItem
Dim intInitial As Integer
Dim intFinal As Integer
Dim strEntryID As String
Dim intLength As Integer
intInitial = 1
intLength = Len(EntryIDCollection)
intFinal = InStr(intInitial, EntryIDCollection, ",")
strEntryID = Strings.Mid(EntryIDCollection, intInitial, (intLength -
intInitial) + 1)
Set MyMeil = Application.Session.GetItemFromID(strEntryID)
If MyMeil.Attachments.Count 0 Then
If Right(MyMeil.Attachments.Item(1).FileName, 4) = ".xls" And
InStr(1, MyMeil.Subject, "App - ") 0 Then
'!!!!!!???? Call ??????????.GetDataFromMail(strEntryID) ' HERE IS MY PROBLEM
MyMeil.UnRead = False
MyMeil.FlagIcon = olBlueFlagIcon
MyMeil.Save
Else: End If
Else: End If
End Sub

With this Sub I'm getting EntryID of recently received mail message.
On the other hand, in Excel file "C:\Test.xls" (which is already open) I
have another Sub which opens mailitem's attachment (I know EntryID from Sub
provided above), copies it in one of it's sheets and then begins processing
of data provided the

Sub GetDataFromMail(MailItemID as string)
Dim Attach As Outlook.Attachments
Dim myItem As Outlook.MailItem
Set myItem = Outlook.Application.Session.GetItemFromID(MailItem ID)
Set Attach = myItem.Attachments
Attach.Item(1).SaveAsFile ("C:\Book1200.xls")
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\Book1200.xls"
Sheets("Data").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("Test.xls").Activate
Sheets("DataProcessing").Select
Cells.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Windows("Book1200.xls").Activate
ActiveWindow.Close SaveChanges:=False
Windows("Test.xls").Activate
Range("A1").Select
Call DataProcessing 'This is another function in Excel
Kill ("C:\Book1200.xls")
Else: End If
End Sub

Individually, both Subs are functioning well.
So, the target is to call "GetDataFromMail" from "Application_NewMailEx", so
that new mail with the special excel file attachments must be processed
automatically.

Please help me to do this or tell me other solution...
