Im having a hard time with VBA editor, it shows me some errors sometimes, and sometimes don't. Mostly, I got error " Can't find project or library" and what i had done so far was deleting the error file and tried to recover the previous version of the file before. I could find any missing items from this suggestions. http://www.kb.blackbaud.co.uk/articles/Article/75344

And that really happened to multiple files and i have been busy for a stupid thing like this for a month already. Im really tired of how unstable excel is.

The script i have used got from this forum:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4743236/excel-timer-to-close-workbook
and it works totally fine BUT Excel sometimes gave me that error which i have no idea what to do.

So I would like to use Task Scheduler to do this job instead, is there anyway to do so? THanks:
