Hi All,

In my model, I have time critical macros to run.

There are four components, where the run time would be T=0, T= 2, T=5 & T=7 minutes.

With T=0 and T=7, I must run Application.OnTime because it involves download and uploading data to an API.

However, with T =2 & T= 5, I could just as easily achieve the result using the Application.Wait command inside a sub.

I don't know enough about the pitfalls of using Application.OnTime in bulk and how the memory is allocated/handled. I am literally scheduling anything up to 100 events give or take.


My question is: Am I better off to schedule everything with Application.OnTime or use a combination of Application.OnTime and Application.Wait?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
IMO it would be simpler to have the called routine schedule itself again as necessary.
