Yes, it is definitely possible! Look at Chip Pearson's site on scheduling
procedures.

Be careful that your refreshing routines do not overwrite the user's work
without his knowledge.

Good afternoon,

I was wondering if there is a few simple commands for refreshing a excel
spreadsheet on a timer, as soon as it is opened. The code would be in the
main spreadsheet and when clients access it from their workstations it would
automatically update itself using the web option refresh on a timer, say 30
minutes.

Is that possible?

Thanks for your help,

Jessica
