  I have the code below. It does the following opens an existing Excel workbook which contains macros, opens a text file as space delimited, selects all, then copies selects a specific worksheet in the open workbook pastes the copied text into the specific worksheet.

  At the line wkbObj.Run App.Path & "\Decoder.xls!clear" I get an error 1004 that it can't find the file clear. It finds the Decoder.xls file because I have to answer the enable macros prompt.

  Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass

   Worksheets("Data").Select
   Worksheets("Data").Cells.Select
  
   Screen.MousePointer = vbNormal
   d_path = "Decoder.xls!clear"
  wkbObj.Run App.Path & "\Decoder.xls!clear"
  Sheets("Data").Select
  range("A1:AK609").Select
  selection.ClearContents
  range("A1").Select
  ChDir "C:\TestData\RawData"
  Workbooks.OpenText filename:="C:\TestData\RawData\R2A07J3-J7.s3p", Origin:= _
      437, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
      ConsecutiveDelimiter:=True, Tab:=False, Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False _
      , Space:=True, Other:=False, FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 1), Array _
      (3, 1), Array(4, 1), Array(5, 1), Array(6, 1), Array(7, 1), Array(8, 1), Array(9, 1), Array( _
      10, 1), Array(11, 1), Array(12, 1), Array(13, 1), Array(14, 1), Array(15, 1), Array(16, 1), _
      Array(17, 1), Array(18, 1), Array(19, 1), Array(20, 1), Array(21, 1), Array(22, 1), Array( _
      23, 1), Array(24, 1), Array(25, 1), Array(26, 1), Array(27, 1), Array(28, 1), Array(29, 1), _
      Array(30, 1), Array(31, 1), Array(32, 1), Array(33, 1), Array(34, 1), Array(35, 1), Array( _
      36, 1), Array(37, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
  range("A1:AK609").Select
  selection.Copy
  Windows("Decoder.xls").Activate
  range("A1").Select
  ActiveSheet.Paste
  wkbObj.CutCopyMode = False
  selection.NumberFormat = "0.00"
  Sheets("Control").Select
  wkbObj.Run "Decoder.xls!getdata"
