If I have a list of ten sub names in a drop down F1, can I make my MySubCaller run the sub I choose in F1?

This little diddy doesn't work and the scant info I can find to do this leads me to think it is a bogus way to manage the running of ten subs from a single on sheet button.

Thanks,
Howard

Option Explicit

Sub MySubCaller()
Dim i As String
i = Range("F1").Value
Application.Run i
End Sub

Option Explicit



Sub MySubCaller()

Dim i As String

i = Range("F1").Value

Application.Run i

End Sub

I found this but I still get an error 400 with:

Application.Run (i)


expression .Run(Macro,[Arg1, , , Arg30])
expression A variable that represents an Application object

With this in the sheet 1 module I get an error on the App.Run(Target) line
saying macros may not be available or may be disabled.
(There are three more macros like the one shown)

Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Sub xx1()
MsgBox "one"

Sub xx1()

xx1 is a cell reference. You can't name a macro like a cell reference

a macro named like a cell reference you can run from VBA editor.
If you try to run it from a sheet you can't, because the Run button is
disabled.

Boy do I feel stupid. In my haste I just wanted to create four or five macros to set up my code. Completely over looked the cell ref's I was using.

Thanks Claus.
