Application Ontime - Stopping It?
May 25, 2007
I'm using Application OnTime to fire a procedure every 30 mins. It works great, but the workbook tries to reopen itself when i close it (but not if i close excel entirely). I assume this is because I haven't stopped it anywhere. So I put a call to a procedure that has: Application.OnTime RunWhen, cRunWhat, , False
In the "Workbook_BeforeClose" event. This doesn't solve the problem. What am I missing?
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
StopTimer
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
StartTimer
End Sub
(module1)
Public RunWhen As Double
Public Const cRunIntervalSeconds = 1800 ' thirty mins
Public Const cRunWhat = "dothis"...............................

I am running a timer in XL using the Application .OnTime Method.
Everywhere I've looked tells me that the procedure to stop the timer is
Sub StopTimer()
On Error Resume Next
Application.OnTime earliesttime:=RunWhen, procedure:=cRunWhat, schedule:=False
End Sub
I have this code in with the timer, but when I hit F5 or go to Tools--->Macros--> and Run the StopTimer Macro the timer just keeps running.
how I can properly call this procedure and stop the timer?

I have the following macro that runs every time the system clock's second changes to 07 seconds. I however want it to stop running at 09:47 am. I have the code to stop the timer also (given below) but I am unable to stop the loop at 09:47 am. How do I do that?
VB:
Sub Timer()With Workbooks("book3.xlsm").Sheets("Sheet1")
Range("B10:E10").ClearContents
End With
Application.OnTime DateAdd("n", 1, CDate(Left(Now, Len(Now) - 2) & "07")), "Timer"
End Sub

how to repeat the following line?
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application .OnTime TimeValue("22:02:00"), "Email"
so that everyday it runs at the same time Everyday? At the moment i have to close the workbook at somepoint during the day then relaunch so that it picks this line up, when this eventually "goes live" it will not be monitored as closely as it does now during testing.

I didn't receive a response to a previous post where I was trying to use a batch file to close and open a workbook at a scheduled time everyday. I was thinking about this problem over the weekend, and thought that it would probably be easier to just use a macro to close the file at a certain time everyday (if it is open) and then use a batch file to open the file a couple of minutes later.
I'm having problems with what I thought should be pretty simple though. I tried this to close the file at 5:15pm

Is it possible to use a macro that needs parmeters as part of an application.ontime instruction? - I am getting a macro cannot be found error message.
If I change the called macro so that parameters are not required, it is found OK (but obviously isn't doing what I want anymore!).
I reckon it is something to do with the quotations around the macro name

Firstly you don't need to know anything about Bloomberg to answer this query, only that Bloomberg has various functions that take time to update.
The code Application.Run "RefreshEntireWorkbook" will update these functions but Application.OnTime (Now + TimeValue("00:00:25")), "RunList" is required to allow them time to get the data from the feed. However this only works if the refresh and wait commands are in a seperate function. So in simplified terms it must go like this in vba:

Im copying and pasting data from one workbook to another but when I want to close the source workbook, it comes up with this message that I have much data and if I want to keep this in a clipboard. I thought I could disable this with Application.DisplayAlerts = False but when I do this, Excel freezes. Im I doing something wrong. How can I supress this window?
Public path As String
Sub Get_data()
path = "\Nlchoosa.nlOPS_Processes$OPS_ProcessesReports Sector performance"
Workbooks.Open Filename:=path & "ReportsSector Performance Reporting week.xls"
Range("A1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.copy
Windows("Sector Performance report Week.xls").Activate
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.DisplayClipboardWindow = False
Windows("Sector Performance Reporting week.xls").Activate
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
End Sub

I am trying to get the following macro to run every half hour from 9am until 4pm.
I did try entering the following statement within the macro but I get the error message "compile error - arguement not optional"
Application.OnTime
TimeValue ("16:31:00"), "Mail_Selection_Range_Outlook_Body"
So here is my full macro. Thanks in advance for the help. (Using excel 2003)
Sub Mail_Selection_Range_Outlook_Body()
Dim rng As Range
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Set rng = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
'Only the visible cells in the selection
Set rng = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:C41").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
'You can also use a range if you want
'Set rng = Sheets("YourSheet").Range("D4:D12").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
On Error GoTo 0
If rng Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "The selection is not a range or the sheet is protected" & _
vbNewLine & "please correct and try again.", vbOKOnly
Exit Sub

Is there a way to set the ontime application to run even when excel is turned off? I'd like to be able to refresh a data table every morning at 6:30, even if excel is not on. Ideally, if even my computer isn't on. The code below works, but only if the sheet is open to the exact worksheet.
Option Explicit
Public RunWhen As Double
Public Const cRunWhat = "The_Sub"
Sub StartTimer()
RunWhen = TimeValue("09:54")
Application.OnTime earliesttime:=RunWhen, procedure:=cRunWhat, _
schedule:=True
End Sub
Sub The_Sub()
'my code here
StartTimer

In trying to set up a structure for a bigger and better worksheet, I've come up against a problem that doesn't make sense to me: When the Worksheet is activated, the startTimer sub is in fact run with the OnTime application. But I keep getting the error message "Macro MakeNote not found," when that macro is in fact right there.
The code is very simple:
Sub Worksheet_Activate()
startTimer
End Sub
Sub startTimer()
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "MakeNote"
End Sub
Sub MakeNote()
ActiveSheet.Cells(6, 5).Value = "YES"
End Sub
Sub TimerExpired()
checkNewBar
End Sub
Sub checkNewBar()
ActiveSheet.Cells(4, 1).Value = "123"
End Sub
A second question: witll the TimerExpired macro run all by itself when the Timer expires, or do I need to do something special ?

I have 80 worksheets in my workbook, each worksheet contains a table which must be updated on the first day of each month. On each sheet I need vba to duplicate the value in cell A10 to replace the next zero value in column E; duplicate the value in cell F10 to replace the next zero value in column J. Then, continue the same operation on the next sheet.

currently i have this:
Sub StartCycleB()
ActiveWorkbook.UpdateLink Name:="c:/a/b/c/test.xls", Type:=xlExcelLinks
RunWhen = Now + TimeSerial(0, 15, 0)
Application .OnTime RunWhen, "MyMacro", , True
End Sub
Works fine. Its updating and refreshing a file every 15 minutes. When a cell in the test.xls changes to TRUE, my sheet picks it up and changes to TRUE also.
So here is the problem: Once my sheet changes to TRUE, another macro activates in my sheet. This macro will automatically activate every 15 minutes if value is TRUE. BUT the problem is i ONLY WANT TO ACTIVATE THIS MACRO ONCE a day IF the value in my sheet is TRUE. So in summary how do i activate a macro based on a TRUE value on a cell, to happen ONCE a day and then stop?

I just can't seem to get the syntax correct for setting or resetting a cell value using the OnTime schedule function. It looks like the cell value changes randomly and after several cycles it just runs non-stop very, very quickly and I have to use the ESC key to break out of the loop.
Here is my code:
VB:
Sub RunOnTime()
dTime = Now + TimeValue("00:00:10")
Application.OnTime dTime, "RunOnTime"
If Cells(1, 4).Value <= Cells(6, 2).Value Then
Cells(1, 4).Value = Cells(1, 4).Value + 1

I have a splash screen (user form) which displays fo a number of seconds. The UserForm_Activate routine uses Application.OnTime to run the KillSplash subroutine, which is defined in Module1. Thing is, I would like to move the "KillSplash" routine to the UserForm module. What should be the full name of KillSplash I need to pass to OnTime? What "trick" do I use to make "KillSplash" visible to Application.OnTime?

I am trying to use the application .ontime procedure to run a class method, but having a little trouble with what to use as my procedure name. Do I have to include the name of the class, or the name of the instantiation of the class, or what? Here is kind of what I have in the "myClass" class module:
Option Explicit
Private WithEvents m_cmdButton As MSForms.CommandButton
Private m_iTimer As Double
Private Sub m_cmdButton_MouseDown(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
' Set the time with the long delay
m_iTimer = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, I_TIMER_DELAY_LONG)
' Start the timer
Call Application.OnTime(earliesttime:=m_iTimer, procedure:="ClickAgain", schedule:=True)
End Sub
Private Sub ClickAgain()
Call MsgBox("ClickAgain successfully called.", , "Boo yeah!")
End Sub
I have checked and the MouseDown event is being registered: it will work if I use a procedure in a standard module rather than the class method"ClickAgain". (I am only including the code relevant to the "ontime" procedure. My actual class has other methods to deal with setting the control source for the command button & everything.)

I scheduled a task to open excel and when it does (at a certain time), a little sub is supposed to run (couple minutes later) via the OnTime Method located in the Workbook Open Event. There is one weird thing though....
1. When Excel opens automatically through Scheduled Task (and you see the clean white sheet WITH gridlines), Sub does NOT run (that is, my file is NOT even opening).
2. When I myself open Excel manually WITHOUT opening a new workbook (in other words, in front of you there will be grey area without gridlines), Sub runs perfectly (in other words, my file opens automatically and Sub performs whatever it is supposed to do).

i want vba to show a msgbox every 5 sec & it should start as soon as the file is opened. Below is the code & it works. Problem is, that when i close the file it immediately reopens and starts the "msgbox proess". Only if i close excel completely, this problem goes away (& thats not a very proffessional way to do it!!). Can someone pl look at this one & help ?
Private Sub workbook_open()
Call Macro4
End Sub
Sub Macro4()
Dim i As Integer
MsgBox "test!!"
NextTick = Now + TimeValue("00:00:05")
Application .OnTime NextTick, "Macro4"

I have 2 macros, each called by the other to keep updates fast as per below,
Sub Macro1()
Cells.Replace What:=",29", Replacement:=",30", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False
Application .OnTime Now() + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "Macro2"
End Sub
Sub Macro2()
Cells.Replace What:=",30", Replacement:=",29", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False
Application.OnTime Now() + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "Macro1"
End Sub
I need to create a separate macro I can run to permanently stop these two cycling. And allow me to use Excel. Then, when I wish for these to cycle again, I simply run that macro.

my wonderous spreadsheets have had a number of errors on them. One of them seems that the "autosave" VBA that we have been using seems to be hidden in memory. By this I mean that if I am working on this book and close it, on occassion the workbook tries to open itself again (it prompts for the password). Therefore I think something gets stuck "in memory" but I am not sure why it would act in this way?
The code is as follows:-
Public g_blnDate As Boolean
Public vartimer As Variant
Const TimeOut = 60 'in minutes
Sub Salva()
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Call Tempo

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Call tame_blph
NextTick = Now + TimeValue("00:30:00")
Application .OnTime NextTick, "Refresh", , True

Is it even possible to have multiple Workbook open events and/or multiple NextTick or something?

In my main macro I have a line that makes it jump into a timer subroutine that starts the main macro every 30 seconds. However, I also have a line in the main macro that makes it jump into another subroutine at 2pm everyday that sends out emails. The problem is that if the timer starts the main macro again before the sending emails subroutine finishes, then it will only finish sending a portion of the emails before it jumps back into the main macro. Is there any way to stop my main macro once it recognizes that it needs to jump into the email sending subroutine, or a way to at least stop the timer subroutine?
the part of my code the jump into the sending emails subroutine and the timer subroutine look like this so far:
If timevalue(now()) >= timevalue("14:00:00") And timevalue(now()) < timevalue("14:00:31") _
Then DAILY_REPORT
End If

I have the following code saving a copy of a spreadsheet as a backup every 30 minutes. The problem is the save code is running as soon as the file is opened. I want to save only after the file has been open for 30 minutes. The way it is now if I open the sheet up and something is wron the backup has already been overwritten by the messed up sheet. Will someone please let me know what needs changed to eliminate the inital running of the code?

when = Now + sec / 60 / 60 / 24
Application.OnTime when, "do_something"
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
