What should be the value of mTimerTime? Can I still use <br />
mTimerTime = Application.OnTime Now() + TimeValue(&quot;00:05:00&quot;) &nbsp; ?<br />
Or should mTimerTime be of a different value?

You want to set mTimerTime to whatever time you want the timer to pop. Then use that same value to kill the timer should you close the workbook before the timer can pop.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have an excel 2007 workbook. I need to automatically close it after 5 minutes of opening it. I had written &nbsp;a code as under and this works<br />
<br />
Private Sub Workbook_Open()<br />
Application.OnTime Now() + TimeValue(&quot;00:05:00&quot;), &quot;Autoclose&quot;<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
<br />
Sub Autoclose()<br />
<br />
ThisWorkbook.Save<br />
ThisWorkbook.Close<br />
<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
However, in case I close this Excel workbook after 2 minutes of opening it, the Excel application is still opening the closed workbook and then again closing it.<br />
This should not happen. The excel application should close only if the Excel application is manually opened by me. Please suggest a method / VBA code.
