Is there a way to interrupt "Ontime" macro once it is started?
I have a macro that saves the workbook 30 minutes after opening using
"OnTime". Is there a way to stop this once it has started? I know one way is to close and reopen the workbook and Excel but is there a way to do it without having to close the workbook? Thanks in advance. |

Nope... the best you will do is to pop a mesage for the user warning them of
the save... if msgbox("Do you wanna save???", vbyesno) = vbyes then thisworkbook.save -- HTH...

Thanks, Jim. I was afraid this would be the case.

If you mean abort a scheduled Ontime before it's occurred, store the
'EarliestTime' and set the optional Schedule to false, eg Sub myOnTime(bRun As Boolean) Static tme As Date ' or at module level If bRun Then tme = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 5) ' 5 sec's from now End If Application.OnTime tme, "myMacro", schedule:=bRun End Sub Regards, Peter T "Carl" wrote in message ...
