| | Application.Run("OCSetConnection", DataFolderPath, OperatorID, Password, AutoRefresh)
| Argument | Description |
|---|
| DataFolderPath | Optional. The full path to the data folder. You will be prompted to select a data folder prior to refreshing if this argument is left blank or is invalid. |
| OperatorID | Optional. A valid Timberline operator ID. You will be prompted for login credentials if this value is blank or invalid. |
| Password | Optional. The password associated with the Timberline operator ID. You will be prompted for login credentials if this value is blank or invalid. |
| AutoRefresh | Optional. Pass True to force the workbook to refresh when you call this macro. The default is False. | Remarks
The OCSetConnection macro can be used to
- Automatically refresh your workbook when it is opened.
- Support a manual refresh, but without the need to select the data folder or supply your operator ID and password.
- Automatically refresh your workbook as part of an unattended, scheduled refresh in conjunction with Windows Task Scheduler.
The typical scenario involves calling this macro in the Workbook_Open event under the ThisWorkbook object.
Example
Sub Workbook_Open()
Call Application.Run("OCSetConnection", "D:\TSDATA\MyFolder", "pat", "password", True)
End Sub
| Note - | Protect the VBA project with a password to prevent others from discovering your Timberline Operator ID and password. |
