Application.ontime is running even after Excel workbook is closed

[dasiga444]

I have an excel 2007 workbook. I need to automatically close it after 5 minutes of opening it. I had written a code as under and this works

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.OnTime Now() + TimeValue("00:05:00"), "Autoclose"
End Sub


Sub Autoclose()

ThisWorkbook.Save
ThisWorkbook.Close

End Sub

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.
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.

Use the workbook-close event to cancel.

When you run OnTime with a schedule of False, you must specify the exact same run time as when it was last launched. Best to calculate the time 2 mins hence and store that in a global variable when launching, then use that same variable when stopping.

If nothing else is open in Excel try adding Application.Quit inplace of thisworkbook.close

In a worst case scenario, open the workbook in its own excel session to be able to quit.
