Auto launch application & run macro
Hi everyone,
I want to schedule my macro to run daily at 5:00 am. From reading thru the threads, I believe I need to record a Sub Auto_Open to launch the Excel application and to then run the macro? In setting up the scheduled task, the wizard will ask for the application. How do you designate the vba code to run? Thanks for all the great knowledge y'all have provided for novices like me!

Sub Auto_Open does not launch Excel. Windows Task scheduler starts Excel at the given time with your workbook to open. The Sub Auto_Open() runs the code when the workbook opens.

Cheryl,
Not possible; Excel must be open for macros to run. As Gord says, you can use the Windows Scheduler to open an Excel file at the required time. Code in the Auto_Open routine (or preferably the Workbook_Open event) will then run. NickHK "Cheryl" wrote in message ...
