I'm trying to run an existing Microsoft Access Macro from a python script. What I currently have is
import win32api,time
from win32com.client import Dispatch
strDbName = 'Exit.mdb'
objAccess = Dispatch("Access.Application")
objAccess.Visible = False
objAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase(strDbName)
objDB = objAccess.CurrentDb()
objAccess.run('test')
objAccess.Application.Quit()
When I run this I get the error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "accessmacro.py", line 10, in <module>
objAccess.run('test')
File "<COMObject Access.Application>", line 2, in run
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, None, u"Microsoft Office Access can't find the procedure 'test.'", None, -1, -2146825771), None)
The Run Method expects the name of a "user-defined Function or Sub procedure". But, if 'test' is the name of a macro, use RunMacro Method
objAccess.DoCmd.RunMacro('test')
