hi

i want to use "ontime".
i want to run this macro from 18:00 , every 1 minute , until 18:30.
the problem with "ontime" that there is only start point , but there is not end point (18:30)

how can i get also the end point ?
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
like this
Code:
Application.OnTime earliesttime:=Timetorun, _
   procedure:="OnTimeMacro", schedule:=False

OnTime does have an end point - the LatestTime parameter. Try this, based on http://www.cpearson.com/excel/OnTime.aspx:

Code:
Option Explicit

Public RunWhen As Double
Public Const cRunIntervalSeconds = 60 ' one minute
Public Const cRunWhat = "TheSub"  ' the name of the procedure to run
Public Const cStartTime = "18:00"
Public Const cEndTime = "18:30"

Sub Test()
    StartTimer
End Sub

Sub StartTimer()
    Application.OnTime earliesttime:=TimeValue(cStartTime), Procedure:=cRunWhat, latesttime:=TimeValue(cEndTime), schedule:=True
End Sub

Sub RestartTimer()
    RunWhen = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, cRunIntervalSeconds)
    Application.OnTime earliesttime:=RunWhen, Procedure:=cRunWhat, latesttime:=TimeValue(cEndTime), schedule:=True
End Sub

Sub TheSub()
    ''''''''''''''''''''''''
    ' Your code here
    ''''''''''''''''''''''''
    MsgBox Time
    
    RestartTimer  ' Reschedule the procedure
End Sub

Untested...

Based on Chip Pearson's code...
Code:
Option Explicit

Public RunWhen As Date
Public Const StartTime As Date = #6:00:00 PM#, EndTime As Date = #6:30:00 PM#, _
    cRunIntervalSeconds = 60 ' two minutes
Public Const cRunWhat = "TheSub"  ' the name of the procedure to run


Sub SchedTimer()
    If RunWhen = 0 Then RunWhen = StartTime _
    Else RunWhen = RunWhen + TimeSerial(0, 0, cRunIntervalSeconds)
    If RunWhen < EndTime Then _
        Application.OnTime EarliestTime:=RunWhen, Procedure:=cRunWhat, _
            Schedule:=True
    End Sub


Sub TheSub()
    ''''''''''''''''''''''''
    ' Your code here
    ''''''''''''''''''''''''
    SchedTimer  ' Reschedule the procedure
    End Sub

Code:
Sub yourSubHere()
  'do something here
  callOnTime
End Sub
 
Sub callOnTime()
    If TimeValue(Now) >= TimeValue("18:00") And TimeValue(Now) <= TimeValue("18:30") Then
       Application.OnTime NOW + TimeValue("00:01:00"), yourSubHere
    End If
End Sub
