    Macro to open an excel file at a partcular time of the day everyday

    Hiii,

    thanks for looking by

    i am looking for a macro that will open an excel file at a particular time of the day say 9am.

    i will keep one blank excel sheet open always...and the macro as module. SO when the macro runs...it will open the excel file.

    any ideas

    Many thanks

    Gokz

    Hello gokzee,

    An alternative method might be to schedule the workbook to open automatically using the Task Scheduler. This would free your system from having to keep a workbook open. The Task Scheduler can be found in the Control Panel > Administrative Tools.
    Sincerely,
