Hello. I am coding for my work, using Reflection Desktop 16 and MS Excel v15. I am trying to invoke a macro on Reflection from Excel. When I use the RunMacro method, I get the 'Expected Function or Variable' compile error.
The function called returns a user-defined class and when I run it from Reflection VBA it returns the class nicely, so that isn't the problem. It is a possibility that I don't have the class set up correctly yet on Excel but I am feeling that I'm not coding the arguments correctly to call the function. I am using Early Binding and Intellisense is giving me the macro parameters so it is seeing the terminal object at least. I tried coding this off the example from 'Running Reflection Macros from Excel or Another Application' in your Key Concepts, but that is using RunMacro2 and calling a subroutine and I need to pass a paramter (paramarrays make me want to jump out of a window so I'm desperately hoping to avoid RunMacro3.)
I could use a little guidance, please.
Command line (I have tried both of these with the same result):
Set objMyObject = termRefl.Macro.RunMacro(MacroEnumerationOption_Document, "ThisIbmTerminal.HelpExcel", "(input string)")
Set objMyObject = termRefl.Macro.RunMacro(MacroEnumerationOption_Document, strMac, strInput) (wrapped the strings)
Macro in Reflection --> Public Function HelpExcel(strA As String) As MyObject
(This procedure actually calls another Reflection function because it has to do a little manipulation to that string first, because paramarrays. I think the second function would throw the error in Reflection, not Excel, though.)
My project in the Project Window Looks like this:
MacroContainer (MacroScreen)

-> Modules

->ExcelSupportMacros
I have tried qualifying the MacroName in the following manners:
ThisIbmTerminal.HelpExcel
ThisIbmTerminal.MacroContainer.Modules.ExcelSupportMacros.HelpExcel
MacroContainer.Modules.ExcelSupportMacros.HelpExcel
Modules.ExcelSupportMacros.HelpExcel
MacroContainer.ExcelSupportMacros.HelpExcel

I might not be understanding the question though. Does that help?
