I found this somewhere online and placed it in ThisWorkbook...

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Runs a macro at 6:30 AM
Application.OnTime TimeValue("18:20:01"), "GetMyData"

End Sub

It sort of works. My macro is programmed to run every minute...

myTimer = Now + TimeValue("00:01:00")

When I run Workbook_Open, it will start the macro, but sometimes the macro won't adhere to running once a minute, but goes into an immediate loop. Sometimes it will run correctly only once a minute. I'm not sure what's causing the inconsistency.

Is there a better (more consistent) way to auto-start a macro?
 

Excel Facts

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
Update: Application.OnTime works perfectly if the file is closed and re-opened. Not sure why.
