OnTime method only runs 1 time
 

Hi

I have a macro that runs a sub at a specific time. I have
set up a local macro that sets the timer when the workbook
is first opened to run a global macro at a specific time.
I often don't check the computer where this workbook is
for days at a time so I want to be able to just open the
workbook once and have the macro run every day at 3:00.
The local code is:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Dim Activate_Online_Historical As String

Application.OnTime _
earliestTime:=TimeValue("15:00:00"), _
Procedu="Activate_Online_Historical"

End Sub

It works the first day but not the next unless I close and
reopen. Thanks in advance.

Got it - Thanks Bob and Chip.

JP,

The following code needs to be all on one single line

Application.OnTime TimeValue("15:00:00"), "my_Procedure"

Hi

Thanks for your reply Bob, but I can't figure out how to
use your code. When replace

Application.OnTime _
earliestTime:=TimeValue("15:00:00"), _
Procedu="Activate_Online_Historical"

with

Application.OnTime TimeValue
("15:00:00"), "), "my_Procedure"

I get the error:

Compile Error:
Expected: End of Statement

Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks again.

JP,

In the macro that is run, or at the completion of that
macro, you need to
reset the OnTime method for 1 day hence
Application.OnTime TimeValue
("15:00:00"), "), "my_Procedure"

Id suggest using the CustomProperties collection of the workbook

example

Public Sub SaveHistoricalTime(OpenTime as String)
On Error Resume Next
ActiveWorkbook.CustomDocumentProperties("OnTime"). Delete

ActiveWorkbook.CustomDocumentProperties.Add Name:="OnTime",
LinkToContent:=False, _
Type:=msoPropertyTypeString, value:=OpenTime

End Sub
This will be saved with the workbook
