Combine subs in Excel VBA

[PapaApe21]

Good Afternoon,

I want to create an Excel Spreadsheet which automatically closes after a certain time of being idle as multiple users need access to it.

I have found coding for that but unfortunately for it to work Macros need to be enabled.

I have found what I need which works separately but I'm not sure how to combine the two and Excel keeps throwing up errors


1) Enable Macro (took from the below website)

[ICODE]Private Sub Workbook_Open()[/ICODE]

[ICODE]'worksheets to show when macro is enabled[/ICODE]

[ICODE]Sheets("Data").Visible = True[/ICODE]

[ICODE]'worksheet that shows reminder to enable macro[/ICODE]

[ICODE]Sheets("Reminder").Visible = xlVeryHidden[/ICODE]

[ICODE]End Sub[/ICODE]

[ICODE]Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)[/ICODE]

[ICODE]'worksheet with reminder[/ICODE]

[ICODE]Sheets("Reminder").Visible = True[/ICODE]

[ICODE]'worksheets to show when macro is enabled[/ICODE]

[ICODE]Sheets("Data").Visible = xlVeryHidden[/ICODE]

[ICODE]ThisWorkbook.Save[/ICODE]

[ICODE]End Sub[/ICODE]



Close Excel after a certain time in macro (took from below)

ALT+F11 to open VB editor. Double click 'ThisWorkbook' and paste the first 2 modules in on the right.



Private Sub Workbook_Open()
StartTimer
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
StartTimer
End Sub





Now right click 'ThisWorkbook' insert module and paste this code in. Save close and re-open the workbook and after 15 minutes of idle time it will save and close automatically.



Const idleTime = 900 'seconds
Dim Start
Sub StartTimer()
Start = Timer
Do While Timer < Start + idleTime
DoEvents
Loop
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.Close True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub




I would appreciate some help how I can combine the two please to get the spreadsheet working.

Thank you,
