[SOLVED] running a command button from a program

I have a spreadsheet with many command buttons, each running code that takes
several minutes to complete. I'm trying to create a "master button", which
will run all of the other command buttons. You would think that a nice
simple line like:

cmdReport.Run

.... would do the trick. Unfortunately that doesn't work, nor does anything
else I have tried. The help files are not helpful on the subject and I can't
find an answer online. Can anyone help?

Refer to your Visual Basic help topic on the Run method.

Hope this helps,
theDude

I think you can call the "CommandButton_Click" EVENT for each button to
launch what you want.

You're a genius!

And I'm an idiot...

Thank you so much.

Okay, next question: it works if the button is on the same sheet as the
"master button", but what if the button is on another sheet? I tried:

cmdReport_Click

....and...

Worksheets("Sheet2").cmdReport_Click

and I got an error 438 - "Object doesn't support this property or method".

Any thoughts?

You need to make them Public.

Pete
Don't beat yourself up. IF you search for all the messages I've posted
you would noticed that the level of my intelligence is directly proportional
to the number of hours my little kids slept the night before and the number
of coffee's I've downed.

I'm not sure if you know this but the news group is here to make some of
use feel smart, some of the time.
