 Posted: Wed Jan 31, 2007 1:23 pm Post subject: Monitoring a file after an Excel Task |
 |
|
I having a problem running a taskchain with a task opening up an excel file running a fully automatic excel macro saving it and exiting, but after that I want to copy this file from a local drive to a share drive in the network, my problem is that when I run the excel task, it immediately runs the a monitoring task for a file change, so I what need some type of waiting time for the excel macro to finish, how can I do this ?  ? |

The excel task runs and returns immediately. You will have to run a delay task (tasks menu / misc menu) between your excel and monitor task in a chain.
also, There is a way to automatically stop the excel macro within Visual basic macro after x seconds. I will find and provide that link |
