Macro to clear error
Hi,
I have a simple macro or two, that this group has helped me write (thank you), that tells my worksheet to RefreshAll, so outside data is updated every 30 seconds. Occasionally, the server where the Get External Data is pointing, is out of service. If during that time, refresh is executed, I get a box telling me that "update/refresh is unable to query server"... It requires acknowledgment, even though the server may come back on line while the box is waiting for me to click OK. If I am not at my desk to click OK, then my data which I am logging, is interrupted for however long I am away... which could be while I am at home, off for the weekend, etc. How can I have the macro ignore that the server may not be ready... and pole again, and again, on its regular interval... because, the server usually returns to service less than a 5 minutes? I'm guessing some kind of event... I'll try while I'm waiting on a reply. Working with Excel2000. Thanks! John |

Macro to clear error
Gezz.. it happened while I was drafting this email... but now, since I am
using a macro to guide the refresh interval, rather than getting the prompt box as usual, I get a macro Run-time error '1004' because the web query was not on-line... Is there an associated macro command to deal with this? John "gifer" wrote in message ...

Macro to clear error
Although I do not know what the code you are using looks like, one technique
that I use is a conditional loop that evaluates the error code produced by the macro you are using. A simple example is: on error resume next 'tells excel to ignore errors refresh commands do while err=1004 repeat refresh commands end The error is the event.

Macro to clear error
Thanks. I tried a couple things, but compile error expecting End or End
Sub... couldn't get it to compile w/o error. My original code is below... I'm not sure where to insert the resume on error... would it be after the line that fails; noted below in SaveMacro. The first two sets of code are to have the SaveMacro run every 5 seconds. Those parts work fine. Public RunWhen As Double Public Const cRunIntervalSeconds = 5 Public Const cRunWhat = "SaveMacro" Sub StartTimer() RunWhen = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, cRunIntervalSeconds) Application.OnTime earliesttime:=RunWhen, procedu=cRunWhat, schedule:=True End Sub Sub SaveMacro() ' ' SaveMacro Macro ' Macro recorded 3/8/2005 by john ' ' ActiveWorkbook.Save ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll (This is where I get the Run-Time error 1004).
