Question for MVPs

[Guest]

Hi all,

I have noticed that Excel will not execute VBA procedures in the background
(i.e. if a different application is currently active). Is there a way to
work around this?

Thanks,

Lucas

Hi Bob

<OT on>
I'm with you. The whole pub (besides two outsiders) was shocked after
this result. But it was a nice match (much better than our current
'Bundesliga').

So we had to drink some more pints

And Real Madrid too!

British Ale I hope, none of that German lager<g>.

A nice Courage Directors, Youngs, Fullers, Wadsworth 6X, ... the list is so
long.

That's news to me. Run Sub Kickoff, switch to another app and return at the
beep.

Sub KickOff()
Application.OnTime DateAdd("s", 5, Now), "MySub"
End Sub

Sub MySub()
Range("a1").Value = 100
Beep
End Sub

But maybe you have an example that demonstrates what you mean.
