How to set a time for the next 1/4 hour
I am looking to find out how to set a timer to the next 15 min interval (On
the 1/4 hour) What would be the best way to set a varible (NxtTime) to the next 1/4 hour? I need to have something run at each 15 minutes on the quater hour, how can I figure out the NEXT 1/4 hour? I know I will add 900 seconds after that, but I am not sure how to figure out the next 1/4 hour.... Thanks Bruce |

Bruce,
You can use the OnTime method to schedule a macro to execute. See www.cpearson.com/excel/ontime.htm for example code. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "BruceJ" wrote in message news:%Henb.32171$275.58288@attbi_s53...

Bruce,
This should get you started MsgBox Format(Application.RoundUp(Time * 96, 0) / 96, "hh:mm:ss") -- HTH Bob Phillips ... looking out across Poole Harbour to the Purbecks (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "BruceJ" wrote in message news:%Henb.32171$275.58288@attbi_s53...

Thanks Chip,
I was looking for how to actually SET the varible. Bob Phillips gave me the info I needed for that. I got to your site last week, so I had already gotten that portion figured out, I just needed the next 15 min (based on a 1/4 hour) Thanks Bruce "Chip Pearson" wrote in message ...
