VBA Code:
Sub SaveThis()

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.Save
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:10"), "SaveThis"

End Sub

This is in WB1. If I have a second Workbook open, it will automatically open WB1 each time the Application.Ontime timer runs down. I only want the macro to run if this particular workbook is open.

Any ideas on how to get around this would be really appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Put this in a standard code module...

VBA Code:
Public NextTime As Date

Sub SaveThis()

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.Save
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

NextTime = Now + TimeValue("00:00:10")
Application.OnTime NextTime, "SaveThis"

End Sub

Sub SaveThisEnd()
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.OnTime NextTime, "SaveThis", Schedule:=False
End Sub

Put this in the ThisWorkbook code module...
VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
    SaveThisEnd
End Sub
