Excel auto save macro doesn't execute when cursor is active in a cell

问题

I have a macro which auto saves the workbook every 5 minutes to avoid losing data. The workbook is set up with a data connection to collect production data from a PLC controller and production operators can also enter notes into the workbook.

The problem is that if someone started entering a note but didn't confirm the entry by pressing enter or tab or by clicking on a different cell then the auto save macro will not execute and the workbook will not be saved until the focus changes to another cell.

I tried to change the active cell in the macro right before executing the save statement, but that didn't work. Is there a way to accept the entered (but not confirmed) cell contents before attempting to save the file? Is there another solution that I haven't thought about?

This is the macro code:

Sub AutoSaveAs()
    dTime = Time + TimeValue("00:05:00")
    With Application
        .OnTime dTime, "AutoSaveAs"
        .EnableEvents = False
        .DisplayAlerts = False
        ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select 'This is the code where I tried to change the active cell
        ThisWorkbook.SaveAs "//ThisFilePath/ThisWorkbookName"
        .EnableEvents = True
    End With
End Sub

You cannot run a macro while editing a cell. You need user to click another cell or press enter.
