Run a Macro at a certain time
I have tried to use Mike H's answer to Running Excel macro as a service
dated 9/30/2008. I have us the task Scheduler to open the Excel Workbook containing the macro I want to run with a time of 2:00 AM. When I put the code Application.OnTime TimeValue("02:01:00"), "Merge" as the first line of the Macro Merge, nothing happens when 02:01:00 comes. What am I doing wrong? Jim Walsh |

Run a Macro at a certain time
Hi,
To get the macro to run using ontime you have to start things off like this Private Sub Workbook_Open() Application.OnTime TimeValue("02:00:00"), "Merge" End Sub or you can put it in another sub and run that and at the alloted time your macro will run Sub Get_Things_Going() Application.OnTime TimeValue("02:00:00"), "Merge" End sub Sub Merge() 'Your code End Sub -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.
