HELP PLEASE
Please help, i have an excel sheet which is full of data, I have set up a new
excel workbook which pulls information from the other excel sheet. The problem i have is this user is constantly in the main excel sheet and I need the data from his sheet, I have set up a scheldule to automatically open my sheet during the night and close automatically, but it stays open in the open files and this basically doesnt work. If you know a better way of doing this please let me know it would be greatly appreciated. Neil. |

maybe it is best to make a copy of the workbook and work from the copy rather
than the original. Then you won't have the problem of sharing a workbook.

Add some application event code to close that other workbook after a period
of inactivity perhaps. -- __________________________________ HTH Bob "Neil Holden" wrote in message ...

hi. thanks for your answers, I can't make a copy of it because i need up to
date information from it on a daily basis so i can report from Crystal. Not sure if some application even code would work as I already have code to close the excel once updated but it stays open.

HELP PLEASE
neil,
rather than opening the workbook, try linking to it instead using formula. Something like following may be of some help to you: Sub GetData() Dim mydata As String 'workbook location '& range to copy 'change as required mydata = "='C:\[MybookName.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$F$12" 'link to worksheet With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Range("A1:F12") .Formula = mydata 'convert formula to text .Copy .PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues End With Application.CutCopyMode = False End Sub -- jb "Neil Holden" wrote: Please help, i have an excel sheet which is full of data, I have set up a new excel workbook which pulls information from the other excel sheet.

If you want to create a shutdown on no activity give this a try, all the code goe's in the Thisworkbook module, adjust the time to suit: Code: -------------------- Private Changed As Boolean Private Sub Workbook_Open() 'start with the workbook showing unchanged Changed = False ' create our shutdown timer Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:15"), procedu="ThisWorkbook.Auto_Close" End Sub Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, _ ByVal Source As Range) 'if something is changed then restart the timer Changed = True End Sub Private Sub Auto_Close() 'if no changes detected then save and close If Changed = False Then ThisWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True End If Changed = False 'cancel the timer Call Application.OnTime(Now + TimeValue("00:00:15"), "ThisWorkbook.Auto_Close") End Sub -------------------- Bob Phillips;500351 Wrote: So your workbook open code save the workbook and quits Excel?
