I am trying to write an Auto_Open query that will refresh a workbooks
MSQueries (activeworkbook.refreshall) but ONLY if it is opened before 9:00
AM. I do this because I have a scheduler open a number of files before I
get into the office and want the refreshed done before I get there They
take a while so for the same reason I don't want them to refresh when I open
them later in the day to work on them or when other users open them after
they get into the office.

Trying this...

Sub Auto_Open()
If Time < "09:00:00" Then
HandRefreshBigPrice
Else
End If
End Sub

Where HandRefreshBigPrice is another macro that does the refresh all
function and posts the time of refresh to a hidden column.

My problem is that Excel doesn't seem to handle time the way I am expecting.
If I run this macro before 9 AM in the morning nothing happens. Then later
in the day it refreshes. Its like its opposite or something. Do I have to
somehow incorporate the day and not just the time? Is there some easier way
to make this simple task automated?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
