Good Morning,

I would appreciate help with the following as I've been stuck on it for days and can't seem to work it out. Google hasn't helped much either!

I've managed to set up a live auto-clock which displays live time as per my system time, to the second, using the following code in Sheet1 and a separate module. It works great.



Dim SchedRecalc As Date


Sub Recalc()


With Sheet1.Range("A1")


.Value = Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss")


End With


Call SetTime


End Sub


Sub SetTime()


SchedRecalc = Now + TimeValue("00:00:01")


Application.OnTime SchedRecalc, "Recalc"


End Sub


Sub Disable()


On Error Resume Next


Application.OnTime EarliestTime:=SchedRecalc, Procedure:="Recalc", Schedule:=False


End Sub



Now what I want is for popup message boxes (requiring just an 'OK' click) to appear when that live clocks reaches certain times. I've tried everything I am aware of like the following but it just won't work. When I run the macro on it's own it works, it's just when I try to link it to the other codes it won't work.

Private Sub Popup1()
If cell(A1) = "08:55:00" Then
Run "Popup"
End Sub

Any ideas please?
 
Thanks you've solved everything! :)

But I can't promise I won't need help on this thread again...!

Have a lovely day.

Regards,
Keifer
