    Macro/VBA Question - Newb

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm sorry to bother you with this, but i'm kind of stuck and looking for assistance.

    I am looking for a way to have a report run automatically, refresh its data, and save as a PDF into a dropbox or Evernote folder....any ideas? I am using Excel 2010 and the file is saved on my laptop that is always connected to the net. I really appreciate any help!

    Thank you.

    Will

    Hi Will,

    I'd record a macro of you doing it at first. The PDF creation records a macro nicely, so should be good start.
    Hope this helps

    Sometimes its best to start at the beginning and learn VBA & Excel.

    Please dont ask me to do your work for you, I learnt from Reading books, Recording, F1 and Google and like having all of this knowledge in my head for the next time i wish to do it, or wish to tweak it.

    Thanks Nathan. I'm assuming for this task, it will have to be a mix of VBA and macro? Since I need the report to be run automatically, will I need a script in a scheduler?

    to run things atutomatically, how do you mean at a time or on opening, on opening is the Workbook_Open event, and scheduling will be using Application.OnTime. I'd read up on that, cause it needs to be stopped otherwise it keeps going.
