Excel & internet
 

I have this spreadsheet that is linked to the internet. It uses some add
in functions to extract info from the internet. As soon as I open this
sheet, all the values get updated. Now, this sheet is huge. It takes
around 5-10 minutes to extract all the info. I have another spreadsheet
which has a macro that copies relevant info from the first spreadsheet
and pastes special the values. And this macro is a part of a much
larger program.

Now the problem: Once I run this program, the macro just opens the
first spreadsheet and copies from there and pastes special. The trouble
is that the first spreadsheet hasnot calculated anything by that time.
So what I get is a 1000 #N.A.s. How can I ask the macro not to run till
the first spreadsheet has stopped calculating?
(I have tried the wait function. But firstly, I need to give an
absolute time and I dont want to change the code everytime I have to
run the program (No point of whole automation). Also, the time taken by
spreadsheet randomly varies between 2 to 10 minutes depending on the
processor speed).

Please help.
