Hi All, First let me say that I love reading through the suggestions and examples that have been posted for other peoples problem's and have picked up some great formulas and macros and for that I am already thankful to you all. Now for my question. I have been searching for a way to automate some reports that I run. I use excel 2007 and the main problem I have is that the reports are updated bi-weekly via refresh of external qry to an access database on my server. When I click "refresh all" the qrys run and excel becomes unusable to me for several minutes. I am sure that It doesn't sound that bad but I have to repeat the process for 6-10 reports. The time adds up and I need to find a way to report faster.
Please tell me if I am just a dreamer but in my mind it seems like there should be a way for me to activate the "refresh all" and email myself the finished product without locking up my computer or excel for 2 hours. I do have a macro to run the refresh then email me the product but again I still have the problem of excel locking up. Is there a way for me to have the refresh (or macro to email self) run without opening excel? I have punch and pie for anyone with a promising suggestion. :) I am sure that that I have not explained details in full and I welcome any questions. Thanks for your time. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
