Hi all 
I am having real fun here,, I have a constant flow of data that is coming from a different program that inputs its results into a cell in excel.
What I am trying to do is set up excel to move down to the next cell at a set period, say every 15 mins, so that the data stored is in manageable chunks.
I would also like to run an auto save function at the same time to safeguard against system crashes. ( I dont want much do I..
)
I have tried every form of timer settings I can think of and loads off here and the net.
I'm not the quickest person with VBA but can usually get things to run after a while, but I have been on this for a few days now and its driving me nuts.
I think I'm right in saying that I will need to run the timer from a different spreadsheet as the flow of data wont allow me to run the macro at the same time (or vice verse).
Does this also mean I would be better trying to redirect the flow of data to a different sheet or workbook while the timer(s) do there job?
Can anyone help please?
Thanks in advance
