Running SQL Querry after every 10 minutes.

[Guest]

Hi All

I have one SQL Querry which I run in background using following code in VBA
macro.

With Selection.QueryTable
.Connection = "ODBC;DSN=MTRAC;UID=mtuser;PWD=mtuser;SERVER=MTUSER;"
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With

This works fine when I run the VBA macro. But I want to run this query in
every 10 minutes for continuous monitoring of the data. I have one standalone
PC for this application where this excel workbook is open all the time. I
know I can use windows scheduler to open this workbook and run the query when
workbook opens. But I am just wondering if there is any other way to do this.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards
Harish

Thanks for your reply.I have used this function but it is quite lenghty
code.As for I have to refresh in every 10 minutes.So for 24 hours I need to
write 144 lines of code.
Is there any other way to do this?
