I am trying to set up a macro to save a file in a specific location 2x a day with a new filename. It works when I manually run the macro, however, this is a shared file and I need it to save automatically without someone initiating it.

This is the code I have in place... What am I doing wrong?

Sub AMBackUp()

Dim MyFilePath As String

Dim MyFileDate As String

Dim MyFileName As String


MyFilePath = "C:\"

MyFileDate = Format(Date, "mm-dd-yyyy")

MyFileName = "Workbook_" & MyFileDate & "_AM"

ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:=MyFilePath & MyFileName & ".xlsx"

End Sub


Sub PMBackUp()

Dim MyFilePath As String

Dim MyFileDate As String

Dim MyFileName As String

MyFilePath = "C:\"

MyFileDate = Format(Date, "mm-dd-yyyy")

MyFileName = "Workbook_" & MyFileDate & "_PM"

ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:=MyFilePath & MyFileName & ".xlsx"

End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Application.OnTime TimeValue("08:00:00"), Procedure:="AMBackUp"


Application.OnTime TimeValue("17:00:00"), Procedure:="PMBackUp"


End Sub
