I have a macro that draws data from a website and places in to several tables
which are then organised is different criteria. Instead of me manually
hitting the button with assigned macro, I want to have the macro run itself
every 10 minutes. How do I do this please?
 
Darren,

have a look at ONTIME in Excel VBA help

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.
 
You can use this line of code:

Sub YourSub()

' your code here

Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:10:00"), "YourSub"

End Sub

I would also suggest you reading Chip Pearson's site about the OnTime Event.
Hope this helps! If so, let me know, click "YES" below.

Hi Mike, I did as you suggested and this is what I come up with:
Sub Autorun()
'
' Autorun Macro
'

'
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:10:00"), "Refresh"
End Sub
Unfortunately it only repeats once. How to I make it repeat itself at the
stated time intervals i.e. every 10 minutes?
 
You are telling the OnTime Event to run a macro named "Refresh" you want to
re-run "Autorun". Try this line below or see my reply to your original post.
Hope this helps! If so, let me know click "YES" below.

Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:10:00"), "Autorun"
