VBA code does not work

[Frank Situmorang]

Hello,

I have inserted these VBA in the module, but the text in T2 does not blink.
Did I miss something?

Public RunWhen As Double

Sub StartBlink()
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("PO_Line_text").Range("T2").Font
If .ColorIndex = 3 Then ' Red Text
.ColorIndex = 2 ' White Text
Else
.ColorIndex = 3 ' Red Text
End If
End With
RunWhen = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1)
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!StartBlink", ,
True
End Sub

Sub StopBlink()
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("PO_Line_text").Range("T2").Font.ColorIndex = _
xlColorIndexAutomatic
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!StartBlink", ,
False
End Sub

'Then, in the ThisWorkbook code module of the workbook, use code like:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
StartBlink
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
StopBlink
End Sub

Works fine for me Frank. Did you put the workbook event procedures in
ThisWorkbook?

 

[Frank Situmorang]

No I didn't Phillip, I do not even know where is workbook event procedures .

Could you tell me?

 

[Bob Phillips]

Near the bottom of the code that you posted you will read


'Then, in the ThisWorkbook code module of the workbook, use code like:


Each VBA project consists of various objects, worksheets, modules and
ThisWorkbook. Copy that code to there.

 

[Frank Situmorang]

I already copied that Phil, exactly like the VBA I mentioned. Maybe somthing
I missed.
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name

Waht is this: "'" , should it be filled in the middle?

The code requires no alterations, it's correct. If your confident you've put
all the code where it should be, did you save, close and re-open the workbook?

This is exactly what I copied Mike, and I saved and opened it, but it is
still not blinking. I am using excel2007. So while open my workbook. I go to
toolbar developer than clicked VBA code, then I copied, saved and reopend
still nothing happend

Public RunWhen As Double

Sub StartBlink()
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("PO_Line_text").Range("T2").Font
If .ColorIndex = 3 Then ' Red Text
.ColorIndex = 2 ' White Text
Else
.ColorIndex = 3 ' Red Text
End If
End With
RunWhen = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1)
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!StartBlink", ,
True
End Sub

Sub StopBlink()
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("PO_Line_text").Range("T2").Font.ColorIndex = _
xlColorIndexAutomatic
Application.OnTime RunWhen, "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!StartBlink", ,
False
End Sub

'Then, in the ThisWorkbook code module of the workbook, use code like:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
StartBlink
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
StopBlink
End Sub

Thanks to all of you, it works now for me, the 2nd part should have been
copied to the proper place.
