Hello everybody.

I need to schedule a macro for 13/05/2018 at 20:00

In this workbook, I have to write something like this:


Code:
Private Sub program()
Application.OnTime TimeValue("20:00"), "xxxxxx"
End Sub

But:
1) how can I add the date?
2) could the date format be a problem?

Of course, the workbook has to remain open.

Thank's in advance.

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Maybe with this I can avoid the matter about date format.

Code:
Application.ontime DateValue("May 13, 2018") + TimeValue("20:00:00"), "xxxxxx"

Wrong.

Maybe the right one is::

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.ontime DateValue("13/20/2018 8:00 pm"), "AutomaNeta"
End Sub
