How do I enter data into a userform from another workbook using VBA?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

So, the problem I'm having is that some code I am writing calls another macro. This second macro has a userform with fields that must be completed before it will continue.



Is there any way I can have code in the first macro that will enter data into the userform from the second?



The main problem here is that I don't have access to the code in the second macro. As far as I understand, this means:



(1) I can't bypass the form and pass the variables directly to the second macro's code as I can't edit the second macro.



(2) I can't call an event when the userform activates as that code would need to be in the second macro and I can only edit the first, which pauses once the second macro is called.



(3) I can't use an application event as there isn't one that covers a userform popping up.



Any ideas?



Thanks in advance!



Phil.
