Hi Ted,

Just use the Application.OnTime method to schedule the macro to run one hour in the future (Now + 1 hour). At the end of your macro, insert a line of code that uses the Ontime method to again run the macro one hour in the future. Thus each time your macro runs it reschedules itself one hour in the future, and runs every hour.

Sorry im new to this could u give me an example...
or email me a spread sheet that does this.


will the now part not change as the time is changing - if so will that mean that now + 1 will never be reached because it is alway an hour ahead...?

He is saying do something like this

future=now+1
application.ontime(future, runmacro)
