ontime code
Thanks Jacob.
I found something that Chip Pearson had made a while back too, and that did the trick. "Jacob Skaria" wrote: Hi Steve Insert a module and paste the below procedures and try.

I also tried now + timevalue("00:00:10"); it's not repeating every 10 seconds either. What I'm finding is that the first one does not run every ten seconds-- I tried it just to make sure it'll do what I need-- and I cannot find anything else that will allow me to run the macro every few minutes or hours, as I decide. I realize that I don't entirely understand it, so I wanted to ask-- how do I create a macro that'll run every few minutes or so? Thank you. |
ontime code
Thanks Steve/Chip
You can adjust the code to run a number of iterations or upto a a certain time keeping Ontime within a loop and specifying the iterations or the end time as a global variable.
