Hi,
I have a macro, "GetQuotes", that downloads market data. I need to run the
Get Quotes macro every 10 minutes from 6PM Sun to 5PM Fri. RBS gave the
following reply:
Simplest is to use the Windows task scheduler.
This can start Excel with a workbook as an argument to open that workbook.
Code can then be started from the Workbook_Open event and your code can then
detect the end of Friday to stop running and close the workbook
and then do an Application.Quit.
Does that mean have Windows Task Scheduler start Excel every 10 minutes, and
it will open a certain workbook each time an instance of Excel is launched?
I'd much rather run the schedule in VBA if that is possible. Maybe there's no
capability in VBA for timing events in this way?
Thanks,
Andy
