' Call function OpenPHObject
' ************
Set oExec = OpenPHObject()

' ************
' Cursor in clock shape
' ************
Application.Cursor = xlWait
DoEvents

On Error Resume Next
' ************
' After seven seconds the macros has been launched
' ************
dtmTime = Now + TimeValue("00:00:07")
' ************
' Open the sub in thisworkbook
' ************
Application.OnTime dtmTime, "thisworkbook.operations"
Application.Cursor = xlDefault
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'Sheets(Array("Read Me", "File Layout", "Index", "Quotes")).Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:\tet_1.xls", fileformat:= xlNormal, ReadOnlyRecommended:=False,
CreateBackup:=False

Application.DisplayAlerts = True
' ************
' Now + 7seconds + 30 seconds --> launch SAVEandEXIT and close PH
(external program)
' ************
dtmSave = dtmTime + TimeValue("00:00:30")

Application.OnTime dtmSave, "thisworkBook.Save_Exit(oExec)"
' I have a problem here
' because it is not recognize the Save_Exit Sub



End Sub



Public Sub Operations()

Sheet3.Activate
Sheet3.ExecGetInfo
Sheet4.Activate

End Sub

Public Sub Save_Exit(oExec As Object)

Call ClosePHObject(oExec)
SaveAsWithoutCode 'delete all macro
Application.Quit
ThisWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True

Application.OnTime dtmSave, "'" & ThisworkBook.name "'!Save_Exit oExec"

Doesn't work, if take out this argument it works fine but I need to
pass this argument in order to close the external program, how to do
it?

I found this page helpful for the type of thing you want to do.

Hope this works for what you want to do.

I think the problem is trying to pass an object parameter, I don't think
that will work as the object will not be in scope.

Hello thanks a lot,

Bob I did not understand what you mean as object will not be in scope

Make oexec a public variable at the top of the module. Alter your Save_Exit
routine to use that variable and not expect an argument.

 

[ina]

But my variable oExec coming from my function Set oExec =
OpenPHObject()

can I do it?

Ina

 

[Tom Ogilvy]

I would suggest that scope is probably not what he meant. He probably meant
you can't pass an object as an argument in this way.

 

[Tom Ogilvy]

if all your code is in the Thisworkbook module:

Dim oExec As Object

Public Sub Workbook_Open()
' ************
' Variables
' ************
Dim dtmTime As Date
Dim dtmSave As Date



' ************
' Call function OpenPHObject
' ************
Set oExec = OpenPHObject()

' ************
' Cursor in clock shape
' ************
Application.Cursor = xlWait
DoEvents

On Error Resume Next
' ************
' After seven seconds the macros has been launched
' ************
dtmTime = Now + TimeValue("00:00:07")
' ************
' Open the sub in thisworkbook
' ************
Application.OnTime dtmTime, "thisworkbook.operations"
Application.Cursor = xlDefault
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'Sheets(Array("Read Me", "File Layout", "Index", "Quotes")).Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:\tet_1.xls", fileformat:= xlNormal, ReadOnlyRecommended:=False,
CreateBackup:=False

Application.DisplayAlerts = True
' ************
' Now + 7seconds + 30 seconds --> launch SAVEandEXIT and close PH
(external program)
' ************
dtmSave = dtmTime + TimeValue("00:00:30")

Application.OnTime dtmSave, "thisworkBook.Save_Exit"
' I have a problem here
' because it is not recognize the Save_Exit Sub



End Sub



Public Sub Operations()

Sheet3.Activate
Sheet3.ExecGetInfo
Sheet4.Activate
Sheet4.ExecGetExtra

End Sub

Public Sub Save_Exit()

Call ClosePHObject(oExec)
SaveAsWithoutCode 'delete all macro
Application.Quit
ThisWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True
End Sub

 

[ina]

Thank you very much Tom

 

[ina]

yes thanks I have an error as the Object variable is not set.

 

[Tom Ogilvy]

I didn't change anything that had to do with that. You set it in your code:

Set oExec = OpenPHObject()

 

[ina]

It is ok now thanks
