ONtime with addin disaster. please help

Posted by adam k on February 12, 2001 11:51 AM

I recently had a disaster and I thought you might help if possible. I have 10 people accesssing one excel addin. I ran an ontime loop on one of the spreadsheets and I closed the workbook. Unfortunately I didn't realize that this would not stop the ontime macro from running because Excel was still open. For some reason all the other spreadsheet started running the code i think, even though the ontime macro was only in one of the sheets, not the addin. thanks for your help in advance. adam k.

You need to set the OnTime event to False.
This could be done by a Workbook_BeforeClose procedure in the workbook that has the OnTime event.
Something like this :-
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
On Error Resume Next
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:03:00"), "Repeat", schedule:=False
End Sub

Change ' OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:03:00"), "Repeat", ' to fit your situation.
