My Macro keeps stopping??
Hi All
I have a macro in one workbook, which opens lots of other workbooks:- Sub Auto_Open() ' Turn Off Auto Calcs.... With Application .Calculation = xlManual .CalculateBeforeSave = False End With ' Open First workbook Workbooks.Open(Filename:= _ "M&G.xls", UpdateLinks:=0 _ ).RunAutoMacros Which:=xlAutoOpen 'Open Second workbook. Workbooks.Open(Filename:= _ "ET.xls", UpdateLinks:=0 _ ).RunAutoMacros Which:=xlAutoOpen It does the first bit and opens the first workbook, the first workbook once open runs and Auto_Open macro does it's bit and then closes that Active window, all is fine at this point the macro then comes back into this macro, where it should open the second workbook but it fails and the macro stops running The Auto_Open macro in the workbooks that are opened looks like this:- Sub Auto_Open() do_i_run = Workbooks("Run All Service Tracking.xls").Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A15") If (What_Date_Did_I_Run = What_Was_I_Opened) Then If do_i_run = 10 Then ActiveWorkbook.Close End If End If This is to just get the workbooks to close for testing. The reason I need this is that I have 12 workbooks that I need to open and runn Auto_Open macros, the macros collect data from one of our SQL servers, as I have 12 of these and I can only run one at a time I need them to run one after another, I can not use scheduler as I do not know if the data collection from the SQL box wll take 1 minute or 10 minutes, it just depends on how many users are connected to it when I try to run my work. Can someone advise how to get my macro to continue to run OR How I could get one workbook to open once the previouse one has ran? Many Thanks Mark |

I would close the workbook in the original code. when you close a workbook,
the code execution terminates - perhaps this termination is not returning control to your original code. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Sh0t2bts" wrote in message ...

I can close the active windows and close the application completly but I don't know how to close another session of Excel? Cheers Mark "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...

What makes you think you are working in another session. The code as
written opens the workbooks in the same session of excel Sub Auto_Open() ' Turn Off Auto Calcs.... With Application .Calculation = xlManual .CalculateBeforeSave = False End With ' Open First workbook With Workbooks.Open(Filename:= _ "M&G.xls", UpdateLinks:=0 _ ) .RunAutoMacros Which:=xlAutoOpen .close SaveChanges:=False End With 'Open Second workbook.

That is controlled by Tools=Options=View, show windows in Task bar.
That option was added in xl2000. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Sh0t2bts" wrote in message ...
