Default automating macro

Hello.

I have a macro in an Excel workbook that needs to run at 4am each morning.
Does anyone know where I can find an example of how that can be automated?

Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you!

Chris

I would suggest using the OS scheduler to start Excel with a designated
workbook that has your code as workbook_open event code.

Put in good error handling though, or you may find the job suspended,
waiting for a response by someone who is not there.
