Forced reboots -- Making Excel save always before file close
Our IT department installs updates after hours. Many times, these updates
force a machine reboot. I have long jobs that I run overnight using VBA to send ODBC update queries from Excel to our server. Forcing a reboot loses all the audit trails I compile while sending the update queries. Is there a way to force Excel to save a spreadsheet when it gets a forced reboot message from the network?? Autosave doesn't work because it appears the machine has to be idle for the autosave to work (plus I lose any data that I uploaded between autosaves). |

Forced reboots -- Making Excel save always before file close
difficult one, as the reboot may reside outside excel and not be caught.
However, try either to write a SaveAs in the "ThisWorkbook" object, and select "BeforeClose" (<Alt+<F11, select ThisWorkbook in the Project Window, Select "Workbook" in the left dropdown and BeforeClose in the right one. Alternative is to save after x minutes or save at the end of completion of a piece of code "bbotz" wrote: Our IT department installs updates after hours.
