How to trigger a macro at regular intervals?
I have a workbook that is being updated through DDE links. I also want to
trigger the recalculation of a cell at regular intervals (every 5 seconds, for example) while the DDE updates are happening. How can I do this? I tried the Wait function in a macro, but this interrupts all updates. Any other ideas? |
