I would suggest recording a macro that does all of the things you want it to do. Call the macro auto_Open. At the end of the macro, add: Activeworkbook.close SaveChanges:=true
save the workbook. Next, create a windows Scheduled task that will open this workbook at 5:00pm daily (or weekday) test it by changing the scheduled task to run a minute or two from "now". the workbook should open and run as directed and close when completed. What I have done in the past is create the macro and call it something descriptive. Then, in Auto_Open, check to see if the current workbook is from a specific path. for instance, I do the "development" and debugging in the file: \\ServerName01\project\reports\Development\Project_Summary.xls Once ready for use, I copy it to: \\ServerName01\project\reports\Batch\Project_Summary.xls Then, in Auto_Open (Or Workbook_Open) I check the file name: If (ActiveWorkbook.FullName = "\\ServerName01\project\reports\Batch\Project_Summary.xls") Then That way, I can still edit and debug the macro without it trying to run when I open the file. If you need more help with the macro itself, please record the steps and post the code. We'd be glad to look at it...
