Thats just the job,
Now is there any way to do this after a specified amount of time? i.e. I want excel to check the size of the file after about 3 seconds and if it finds that the file size has changed then it should outpu the new code. I've been fiddling around with Filelen() and timer() bu can't get my limited brain around it! Cheer -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |

Hi Joseph,
Check out Application.OnTime. Your structure would be something like: Private m_nNextTime as double Sub CheckFile() ' Code to check whether the file has changed m_nNextTime = Now + TimeValue("00:00:03") Application.OnTime m_nNextTime, "CheckFile" End Sub BTW you need to store the time the routine will next run so that you can turn off the timer at the end.
