Thanks for your help.

I don't see any lines of code where you actually set the RunWhen variable.

And I don't see any place where you declare that variable.

I'd go back to Chip Pearson's site:

to see where your code differs.

Hi,

Irrespective of how i write RunWhen I still get the same error. When i open
the file it highlights in yellow

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Thanks for your help

The code I have now is

Private mFormulaBar

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim oCB As CommandBar
On Error Resume Next
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "SaveAndClose", False
On Error GoTo 0
For Each oCB In Application.CommandBars
oCB.Enabled = True
Next oCB

Application.DisplayFormulaBar = mFormulaBar

Application.Quit
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim oCB As CommandBar
On Error Resume Next
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "SaveAndClose", False
On Error GoTo 0

Application.OnKey "%{F11}", "dummy"

For Each oCB In Application.CommandBars
oCB.Enabled = False
Next oCB

mFormulaBar = Application.DisplayFormulaBar
Application.DisplayFormulaBar = False

RunWhen = Now + TimeSerial(0, NUM_MINUTES, 0)
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "SaveAndClose", True
End Sub

RunWhen should be a single "word":

Application.OnTime Run When , "SaveAndClose", False

Hi,

Can anyone tell me why this defaults on RunWhen? Its says compile error,
ambigous name.

Private mFormulaBar

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim oCB As CommandBar
On Error Resume Next
Application.OnTime Run When , "SaveAndClose", False
On Error GoTo 0
For Each oCB In Application.CommandBars
oCB.Enabled = True
Next oCB

Application.DisplayFormulaBar = mFormulaBar

Application.Quit
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim oCB As CommandBar
On Error Resume Next
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "SaveAndClose", False
On Error GoTo 0

Application.OnKey "%{F11}", "dummy"

For Each oCB In Application.CommandBars
oCB.Enabled = False
Next oCB

mFormulaBar = Application.DisplayFormulaBar
Application.DisplayFormulaBar = False

RunWhen = Now + TimeSerial(0, NUM_MINUTES, 0)
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "SaveAndClose", , True
End Sub
