Hi,

I need help in writing a macro which runs another macro at a certain time.

say for examble, I want macro1 to run automatically at "16:00:00".

Thanks in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Code:
[FONT=Arial]Private Sub Workbook_Open()[/FONT]
 [FONT=Arial]   Application.OnTime TimeValue("16:00:00"), "macro1"[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]End Sub[/FONT]

 
 
S[FONT=Arial]ub MyMacro()[/FONT][FONT=Arial]    [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Application.OnTime   [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]    TimeValue("16:00:00"), "macro1"[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]'Put Code Here Please[/FONT]
End Sub


</PRE>

The workbook can be closed but Excel has to still be running. Excel will re-open the workbook to run the MyMacro if necessary.

MyMacro has to be in a standard code module.

Yeah, that caught me out the first time I tried using OnTime inside Workbook_Open. Every time I tried to close the workbook, it kept re-opening itself!
