Charles,

That's a good news--bad news type of response. I like "yes" but only speak a few words of
vba. I will open the .beginners group and see how the wind blows.

The problem relates to a recent post of mine, "Word not closing right under Scheduler."
Scheduler opens a specific file, time.doc, and an hour later attempts to close it. This
creates an error condition and the Notify Microsoft window appears and has to be dismissed
manually. Don't know what would happen if I left the computer unattended until the next
Event time, 4 hours later. So, asking Scheduler to do more than simply closing Word is not
possible.

But, if I had the subject macro loaded and ran it upon startup of Word, I'm betting that
there is a timer reactor somewhere in vba that would delay the execution for, say, 2
hours.

Thanks,

rs
