hi,
I created a copy macro within Excel that I need done at a certain time each day. The copy macro (called copy3) is under the Modules portion in Visual basic. I put the following in the Sheet2 page in Visual basic: Private Sub Timer() Application.OnTime TimeValue("13:00:00"), "copy3" End Sub And it does not run the macro at 13:00. What have I done wrong? thanks, Mike |

Did you run Timer?

Mike,
You need to call the procedure before it will do anything. Ideally, it should be a in a module so that it can be called from different locations. All in all, if you do not run the routine you posted, it will not work. Robert |

Stupid question:
How do you run the timer? Ideally I would like this to run automatically. That is I would use Scheduled Tasks to bring the worksheet up then later in the day have the copy macro run so I don't want to have to run the timer unless this can be done automatically when the spreadsheet comes up. thanks -----Original Message----- Did you run Timer?

You can do that too. But you need to add a call on the Workbook_Open event in
order to call the procedure. Then you can use another onTime to close the workbook after a few seconds. Have a look at ExcelTip for the code on how to unload the workbook after the time has elapsed. Robert |

You could place the code in the ThisWorkbook module as a Workbook_Open Sub
which would run when the workbook is opened. This would start the Timer, which would run copy3 at 13:00:00 If you are going to use Task Scheduler to open the workbook at a certain time(13:00:00) each day, you wouldn't need the Application.OnTime code. Just have the copy3 code in the Workbook_Open code. TS would open the workbook, copy3 would run, more code would save and close the workbook if desired.

Gord,
Thank you very much. I can now automate everything.

I am having a similar problem. I'm attempting to get an excel file t
open up and auto open a macro. I am using Windows 2000 server wit Scheduled Tasks. I set up a task with a batch file that looks lik this: c:\progra~1\micros~3\Office\Excel.exe D:\macro\test.xls When I tell the task to run, it shows a status of running, howeve never does anything. I don't see Excel open anywhere in the activ processes. In fact, the process never stops running and I have t manually tell it to end task. I've tested this particular line in the Run prompt and the macro open up and runs perfectly. Any ideas why this isn't working -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |
