File Generation stops until the timer is over...
Is this application generating the file? or is it being created from another
process?
The code is a little cumbersome (to me).
Here's what I observe:
-This code is contained in a workbook (name not specified)
-Windows.Application.Workbooks(WorkBookName).Activate is used to SWITCH to a
different Excel instance of a workbook. Which may or not be already open.
If it is not open, wb4 is not set.
If it IS open, then it is saved as "C:\Temp2\RN Data.xlsx"
But nothing in this code OPENs the .csv file.
And it will keep trying to switch to the other window until some other event
opens the workbook.
the problem is that it keeps trying to switch to it and Excel is so fast that
it will be trying several times EACH SECOND until file is found to be open.
After some number of CPU cycles, Windows decides that Excel should be set as a
"background" process so that you can go back to doing productive work while it
continues.
------------------------
IF what your'e trying to do is open the CSV file and save it as a .xlsx file,
try something like:
Option Explicit
Sub Test()
Dim InitialName As String
Dim fileSaveName As Object
'-----------------------------
Dim WorkBookName As String
Dim wb4 As Workbook
Dim i As Integer
'-----------------------------
On Error Resume Next
InitialName = "C:\temp2\RN Data.xlsx"
WorkBookName = "C:\temp2\RNsOutstanding[1].csv"
If Dir(InitialName) <> "" Then
Kill InitialName
End If
For i = 1 To 20000
Set wb4 = Workbooks.Open(WorkBookName)
If Not wb4 Is Nothing Then
wb4.SaveAs Filename:=InitialName, FileFormat:= _
xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
Exit For
End If
Application.StatusBar = "Iteration: " & i
Application.Wait Now() + TimeValue("00:00:05")
Next i
Application.StatusBar = False
If (wb4 Is Nothing) Then
MsgBox "Failed to open File"
Exit Sub
End If
MsgBox "Complete"
End Sub
