Why Trust Us

We write a lot of macros to automate many of our mundane repeated tasks. Taking it to the next level, we can call the macro in a pre-determined frequency and get the macro triggered.

See below for an example:

Sub MainMacroMethod()  ' Begin macro code  ' This method contains the macro???s code.  ' End macro code 'Call a method at the end that will set a timer Call timerMethod  End SubSub timerMethod ()   'Set a timer that will trigger the above method in the next 6 minutes    Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:06:00"), "MainMacroMethod"End Sub
