Calling(run) a private Sub worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) from public sub

I am wondering if it is possible to call a private Sub worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) type of sub from another public sub? I know that you can't really 'call' the sub but Run it, however my attempts at running the sub doesn't seem to work. This is what I have tried:

Sub AccessTransfer()
Range("A1:F1").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 6).Value = "Oven"
Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
Run.Application "Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)"

Sheets("Sheet1").Select

Application.CutCopyMode = False

End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Application.CountIf(Range("A:A"), Target) > 1 Then
    MsgBox "Duplicate Entry", vbCritical, "Remove Data"
    Target.Value = ""
End If
Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
End Sub

Any help or suggestions on how to fix my problem would be most appreciated.

There are a couple of things wrong with your code.

  • You may be making a change (e.g. Target.Value = "") in the Worksheet_Change which will trigger another event.
  • You haven't isolated Target to column A and have not dealt with more than a single cell being Target.

Module1 code sheet:

Sub AccessTransfer()
    With Worksheets("Sheet2")
        Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:F1").Copy _
            Destination:=.Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
        'Sheet2's Worksheet_Change has been triggered right here

        'check if the action has been reversed
        If Not IsEmpty(.Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp)) Then
            'turn off events for the Oven value write
            Application.EnableEvents = False
            .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(0, 6) = "Oven"
            'turn events back on
            Application.EnableEvents = True
        End If
    End With
End Sub

Sheet2 code sheet:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A:A")) Is Nothing Then
        On Error GoTo bm_Safe_Exit
        Application.EnableEvents = False
        Dim c As Long, rngs As Range
        Set rngs = Intersect(Target, Range("A:A"))
        For c = rngs.Count To 1 Step -1
            If Application.CountIf(Columns("A"), rngs(c)) > 1 Then
                MsgBox "Duplicate Entry in " & rngs(c).Address(0, 0), _
                    vbCritical, "Remove Data"
                rngs(c).EntireRow.Delete
            End If
        Next c
    End If
bm_Safe_Exit:
    Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

With Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
    .Value = .Value
End With

will trigger the Event, but the Paste should already have done that...

EDIT: As commenters have pointed out, there are other issues with your code: this should be something like what you want to do - 

Sub AccessTransfer()

    Dim shtSrc As Worksheet, shtDest As Worksheet
    Dim v, c As Range

    Set shtSrc = ActiveSheet
    Set shtDest = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2")

    v = shtSrc.Range("A1").Value  'value to check...

    If Application.CountIf(shtDest.Range("A:A"), v) > 0 Then
        MsgBox "Value '" & v & "' already exists!", vbCritical, "Can't Transfer!"
    Else
       'OK to copy over...
       Set c = shtDest.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
       shtSrc.Range("A1:F1").Copy c
       c.Offset(0, 6).Value = "oven"
    End If

    Application.CutCopyMode = False

End Sub
