Default Halting Execution -- A Newbie Question (possible repeat, sorry)

Here is the code from my worksheet that continually queries the web for stock
quotes:

Public RunWhen As Double
Public Const cRunIntervalSeconds = 120 ' two minutes
Public Const cRunWhat = "GetData" ' the name of the procedure to run


Sub StartTimer()
RunWhen = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, cRunIntervalSeconds)
Application.OnTime EarliestTime:=RunWhen, Procedu=cRunWhat,
Schedule:=True
End Sub



Sub GetData()
<functioning web query stuff here
StartTimer

End Sub
Sub StopTimer()
On Error Resume Next
Application.OnTime EarliestTime:=RunWhen, Procedu=cRunWhat,
Schedule:=False
End Sub

Questions:
1. I have occasion to want to halt execution to update portions of the
workbook. I envision some sort of Pause and Resume code to do this. Ideas?
2. How do I modify this code to run only during business hours?

Many thanks.
