Time Delayed Response to MsgBox
I have a several "research" files that I set up to run a macro as soon as a
file is opened. In each case the macro retrieves and summarizes a bunch of data taking several minutes to execute. I'm setting up a "master" file with a simple macro that will open and close each of the "research" files sequentially so I can run the series of reports without being at the computer for hours. There are times where I want to open a "research" file to review the data but not execute the macro. I'd like to add a MsgBox that prompts the user to by-pass the macro. However, if I do this when I use the "master" file to open and run the series of "research" files it will just wait for a response to the MsgBox before proceeding and thus will once again be dependent on human intervention. Is there a way to setup the MsgBox so that if it waits for X amount of time without receiving a response from the user a default value for the response will be used which will continue running the macro? |
