FileMaker calling an Excel Macro using AppleScript

Featured Replies

Hi Guys,

A little off topic, but can anyone tell me how to call an Excel macro using applescript. I intend to call the applescript via FileMaker.

The Macro I want to call is called Macro1(). The actual file is called Worksheet1.xls . Im using Excel 2004

Any help would be much appreciated, I've searched in google, and not found anything that works.

Still trawling sites for help and advice, i've been trying the script below along with many different versions of evaluate. Is there anything obvious I'm doing wrong.

Thanks

Tell application "Microsoft Excel"

Evaluate ("Workbook1!Macro1()")

End Tell
