How do I run a macro at a specified time?

How do I automatically run a macro at a specific time in Excel VBA?

We're trying to figure out how to trigger a macro on a schedule in Excel VBThe macro runs a series of processes, and we want the macro to run once every 24 hours, when the workbook is open, no matter what it's been doing previously.

I'm looking for a VBA method (because you can't use "Tools->Macro->Run" or "Tools->Macro Recorder"). I've read the following posts which are helpful: How to do a macro that runs everyday at a certain time. One option I looked at is scheduling a RunMacro task using an Excel Task Scheduler. The downside to this is that we have to click a button in order to execute the macro, so it's not an ideal solution for us.

You need to create a new project and add the macros that you need to schedule, then you can add a new task (for example to run the macros) which triggers every day. If you want it to be triggered when the workbook is opened (which is good for some reason), then you can use the Event object in the Workbook's Activate event.

How do I get VBA macro to run automatically?

I have a macro for a button, which I need to run every time I enter certain data on certain rows of a form.

Currently, when I press the button, it opens a modal dialog box which I need to close before I can continue with my work. The problem is that I am not sure how to put in a macro that runs this button every time the user inputs certain data. Here is the button code:
Private Sub WorkOrderEditEnter(). ' This makes the modal dialog box display. Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' Finds the range where the work order is entered into. Dim wb As Workbook. Set wb = ThisWorkbook. Dim wsr As Worksheet. Dim rsWor As Object. Set wsr = wb.Worksheets("wor-workorder-sheet") ' This finds the cell in the row where the work order is entered into and saves it. Dim lCol As Long. lCol = wsr.UsedRange.Columns.Count
Dim rngCell As Range. ' Loop through each row in column Q to determine what cell was selected. For Each rngCell In wsr.Range(wsr.Cells(4, lCol), wsr.Cells(5, lCol))
' If the cells are blank then move on to the next cell. If Len(rngCell.Value) > 0 Then DoCmd.GoToControl acNormal, "ComboBox1", acForm, "wor-workorder-sheet" End If. ' Close modal dialog box. Unload Me. End Sub. The DoCmd.GoToControl method takes you to a combo box (which is where I would like the macro to take me). I'm pretty new to VBA so I'm not sure how to do this.

EDIT: Thank you all for the help.

Can you schedule an Excel macro to run automatically?

I have my solution set up with the option of scheduling a Macro to run automatically once a day and then running my other macros at that time.

My problem is I have an Excel Macro that I use in my "Run Macro dialog" to send a certain Email when I press Ctrl-Shift-S.

Problem is, when this macro runs it resets my Run Settings back to the default, and I cannot remember if I saved my Run Settings in "Options" or not. So when I want to automatically schedule it through my "File > Options > Advanced". Am I supposed to save the settings manually or should I choose the save the current file? The reason I ask is, I usually only do this when I am done writing to my final word doc and I am ready to print. Because I usually save the file just before I leave it, which is also the time my macro runs. But the other day I realized I forgot to save the final file. And since I could not run my macro because it was already run, I got stuck on this question.

Please help! If you can find anything missing from my post, please let me know. I'm so confused on what information I should post because I am learning to ask questions on different websites. But if I am asking the wrong kind of question, I apologize.

In short, you are correct that Excel sets the Run setting to the default if the macro is already been scheduled. Also, if you open/save the workbook while the macro is in the middle of running you will want to reset the macro to its original settings. To do this do the following:
1) Open your workbook with the macro being run. 2) Save a copy of that workbook in a new location. 3) Close all documents but the original file. 4) Make any changes that you like to that file and then save and close it. 5) Open the saved copy of that file and then save and close it. 6) Close all documents (as in don't just close the EXE!) then open up the original file and choose Options > Advanced. 7) Choose yes to the save settings box. 8) Choose close and continue working. 9) When finished save the edited file and continue working normally.
