ExcelBanter - time specific macros

hi,
here is code i use to set a macro to run a 5am weekdays only. the PC has to
be on for it to fire. i start the macro when i leave work each day at 5 pm.
there are 2 subs here. 1 is prelaunch and decide if it friday or not and
displays the appropriate message. the second sub takes over and sit on the
appropriate action until time to fire. it calls a third sub call macAStart
which is the main macro.

regards.

Sub macAAPrelaunchMR()

Set LookDate = Range("A1")
If LookDate = Date Then
MsgBox ("The Morning Routine has been run today. Update not allowed
at this time.")
Exit Sub
Else
Range("B1").Select
Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.Offset(40, 5)).ClearContents
Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.Offset(40, 5)).Interior.ColorIndex
= Automatic
Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 0
Range("B3").Select

If Weekday(Now()) = 6 Then
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = " This Macro will not start until
Monday Morning about 5:00am " & Date + 2.5
Else
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "This macro will not start until
5:00am " & Date + 1
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
End If
Range("B5").Select
Call macALaunchMR

End Sub
Sub macALaunchMR()

If Weekday(Now()) = 6 Then '1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday, 3 = Tuesday, ect
Application.OnTime Now() + 2.5 + TimeValue("00:00:03"), "macAStart"
Else
Application.OnTime TimeValue("05:00:00"), "macAStart"
End If

End Sub
