Calling and Excel Macro

[Lincoln]

I am attempting to automate the opening and execution of a macro from a VBA
procedure in Ms Access.
This single line of code upens up the application but does not execute the
macro "mymacro".

Call Shell("Excel.exe S:\Mynetworkpath\Myfile..xls /mymacro ")

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From what I know it is not possible to run an Excel macro from the command
line. And I quote "You can't run a named macro from the command line. The
only way you can get a macro to run automatically when an Excel file is
opened is by naming it Sub Autpen. Jim Rech -- Excel MVP "

Here are two place to look at for solutions
