Running Macro After A Specified Time
Sep 14, 2006
I have a macro that would run once the workbook is opened. This macro would then open another excel file to get updates then close it. Now this file is also being accessed by other persons in the network but just for a split second. Since an opened file would result into an error, what proper codes should I add so that if the file is currently in use, the macro would then run again after 5 seconds and would do the same thing until the file is ready? This is what I have so far. All in the standard module.
Sub Updater()
Dim updatePath As String
updatePath = Worksheets("Entries"). Range("E104")
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Workbooks.Open (updatePath)
On Error Goto Errorhandler
Workbooks("APTupdater.xls").Close True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub
Errorhandler:................

I am new to the whole MACRO VBA thing and I am desperately trying to learn. So this is the Situation. I recorded a macro of an If statement on a row. very simple. Some of the rows below ( Like 700) need the same formula that I recorded. I would like to highlight the cells that need the formula and run the macro on them. however the macro only runs one at a time. Is there a way that this can be avoided?

I want to know if I can schedule a macro to run at specific times?
If so would 6 requests at the same time slow excel down?

I wanted to run a macro at 08:00 each day. I tested the macro would auto start and run, and set the test to start at 13:00.
In the Private module of the Workbook I put
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application .OnTime TimeValue("08:00:00"), "MyMacro"
End Sub
and in a standard module
Sub TestTimeMacro()
Application.OnTime TimeValue("08:00:00"), "MyMacro"
End Sub
Initially I had the TimeValue set as 13:00:00. The test worked OK so I changed the timevalue to 08:00:00.
The macro now runs at 08:00 and 13:00.
How do I stop the 13:00 event?

I'm opening a workbook and then running the macro in the workbook. The problem is I would like to build a "timeout" feature if the macro is running too long (as some of the macro's this will run can take days to complete) but I don't know how to run the macro asynchronously. Also I need to know if i can get it to run asynchronous is there an event that will tell me when the process is finished. The calling application of the macro is written in VB6 and opening excel workbooks to run the macros out of. also the "timeout" feature must be done from the VB6 application it cannot be edited into the the workbooks containing the macro.

Here is the image 1 after selecting one of element in listbox and then if I click delete material (commandbutton).
It has to delete the select material in sheet 2 and has to cut the element below and move to 1 row above as shown in figure 2.
At the same time it has to delete the entire respective column and remaining column has to be cut and place in column before in sheet 3 as shown in figure 3
For that I had wrote the program which is below
Private Sub CommandButton5_Click()
Dim i, j, k, m, n As Integer
i = ListBox1.ListIndex
j = Sheet2.Cells(1, 39).Value
k = j - i
[Code] ....
When I click the delete commandbutton5 the result is as shown in figure below
In sheet2
In sheet 3
For loop is running only one time after that it got terminated. If I split the 1st for loop and execute it.it is running nice what I meant to do. If I combine another for loop or If I add msgbox at top it misbehaving. I tried with do while loop also it also doing same thing.

I have a module which runs behind a command button which creates a table and outputs it to an excel workbook. Is it possible to cause this module to execute at a specified time, say 9.00 pm or when the database is closed. It is not necessarily the case that the database is closed every day.

Here is the code for my user form.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
TextBoxDate.Value = Now
TextBoxDate = Format(TextBoxDate.Value, "dd mmmm yyyy hh:mm:ss")
End Sub
This is a form to have employees punch in/out. The form is designed to be running all the time. The TextboxDate is disableed so the user can not change it.
I would like to know if it is possible to get the time to be displayed on the form constantly? Right now it only updates when the OK button is pressed on the form.

I wrote a macro that worked for a long time but now a running time error (9) popped out even though the code didn't change at all. If I run the same macro on the same computer but logged on as a different user it runs smoothly. Tried it in other computers and in some of them it will also run in only some of the users but not all.
I'm running Excel 2003 on windows XP, on a pentium 4 PC but found the same in othe computers running Vista.
When I click the debug button the highlighted line is
Workbooks("Detrend").Activate
close to the end of the following code.

I have a user form that builds a workbook from one template sheet and information in a SQL Server database. The template sheet contains 4 charts that are copied to every new sheet in the workbook, then their data ranges are set through VBA code. For a while the code was working wonderfully. All the necessary sheets were being generated and correctly populated.
Yesterday I added a new module to generate another sheet and pull data from the same SQL Server tables. Now if I run the userform it will work fine once and create all the needed sheets, and set all the charts to the proper ranges. However, if I delete all the created sheets and run the form again, I get:
Runtime Error '-2147417848 (80010108)'
Automation Error
The Object Invoked has disconnected from its clients
The error consistantly occurs for the following line of Selection.Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Master").Range("D1")
After the error the selected range still shows up as surrounded by a selection box, but if I change sheets, the box moves to the new sheet. Also I cannot select any new cells in the work book. In order to get Excel to work again I have to End Task from the Task Manager just to get it to close. When I restart Excel and go back to my work book I get the same results, i.e. The form works great once, then Excel dies.
I have tried qualifing all of the objects that can be qualified. I have tried setting all possible varriables to Nothing before exiting my macros. Nothing I have tried, or found suggested so far in the forum works.

I have created a software on a userform and have copied contents of this userform to worksheet cells. However when I run it for the first time everything works and all contents goes in C4 - C8. However when I run it for the second time the contents in C4 - C8 deletes itself and new data appear i.e. the cells are overwritten.
In cell C3 i have the date and I have managed to put this date in the next empty column everytime the software is run. I do not understand why the dates can go to the next empty column without it being over written but cells C4 - C8 cant!

Here in our department we made a pretty elaborate macro that takes a report and sorts them out to 17 different sheets in a one workbook. This Macro pulls a file from a specific location on our server and then opens the CSV sorts it out color codes all the important information and saves it back onto the server under you specific initials.
They are four PC's along with our Managers laptop that run this Macro daily.
About 3 weeks ago my Managers laptop stops running the Macro completely and hangs in the middle of the whole thing. Eventually crashing Excel.
We try to remove the modules and re-import them back into the personal macro workbork but this does not work. The Macro's did not change and still fully function on the other four desktops to this day.
I uninstall Office on my Managers laptop and reinstall. Import the Modules again and still hangs up in very same spot it did 3 weeks ago.
I've tried to lower the macro security to the lowest level also and I've still had no luck with this laptop. I don't understand. The Macro's function perfectly on other PC's but will not function on this laptop.

I'm trying to get a macro to run when the user presses the save button. I have the following code:
[Code] .......
This code is supposed to apply the TRIM function to every worksheet in the workbook when the user presses save, and the saves the results. I understand the Private Sub bit is the code to have the macro run during the save, but for some reason the macro itself isn't actually running. I'm not getting any error message, its just that the cells which should have the TRIM function applied to them aren't being corrected.

I have 3 different sheets with a private sub on each all labelled
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
The macro's runs fine on each page.
I want to put a macro on a separate sheet that i can run each of those macro's
I did initially copy the original private macro and change the
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
to
sub report()
But I couldn't do all 3 in the same manner. i did change each name to something different... the other 2 subs did run, but they didn't do anything except put the massage box on the end saying that "the macro has finished".
The private macros are on sheets 26, 28 and 12.

I have 7 different workbooks as part of my daily routine.
At present the first workbook is opened via the task scheduler, and the macro is run using the following code
[Code] .....
This then opens the next workbook and closes the current one. The next workbook then runs its macro again from a timed call
[Code] ...........
This repeats for 7 workbooks. The problem is, if a macro overruns - the whole schedule is out of sync when macro's are called depending on the time. What I would like to do, is link each macro by calling for the next one, and closing the current workbook. However, when i have tried to do this, the macro has always stopped when the workbook has been closed - the next macro doesn't run.

Below is the entire code that I am using. It is a simple routine which checks whether a part has started its release process or not, based upon dates. The code works and does what I want.
The problem that I have is that it is very slow, for example it takes 35 seconds to go through 530 lines items. In my (limeted) experiance, based on other VBA doodlings this slow.

I have 2 workbooks (Workbook1 and Workbook2).
Workbook 1 contains a button, that calls a macro. This macro calls a macro from Workbook 2.
For this, I am using the Application.Run function.
The Macro in Workbook2 is a simple one line macro that updates cell A2 to a value of 6.
Range("A2").Value = 6
This works fine!
However, I want the the cell A2 in WORKBOOK1 to change to 6, not the cell in Workbook 2.
To add an element of difficulty, Workbook 1 could have any name (I won't know what it is, as the user could change it).
How can I get the Macro in Workbook 2 (Called from Workbook1), to update the cells in Workbook 1.
