    is it possible to run a module in another application just by calling it?


    or a way to set a default module to run on startup in Access VBA?

    No. The only way to do this would be to create a class module and create an ActiveX DLL/EXE. Alternatively, you could specify a command line parameter (ie myapp.exe /u), and then the other app could run a procedure in the module when /u is present in Command$

    Go to Tools > Startup... and you can specify options there.  While there is no way to specify a module, you can just specify a form and put the code in there, then close the form.  Just a thought...
