Hello everybody.

I need my macro "Test" running every day at 11:30.

Writing in ThisWorkbook

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Application.OnTime TimeValue("11:30"), "Test"

End Sub

is not a good idea: it does not work, probably because of a loop.


So, I've tried to identify univocally date and time.
In the Sheet1, cell A42 I've inserted the formula
=TODAY ()
in the cell A43 I've inserted the value
11:30


Then, in ThisWorkbook:

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Application.OnTime DateValue.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A42") + TimeValue.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A43"), "Test"

End Sub

But the result is negative.


Any suggestions?

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
