What about the timer event? See this example:
Dim PauseTime, Start, Finish, TotalTime If (MsgBox("Press Yes to pause for 5 seconds", 4)) = vbYes Then PauseTime = 5 ' Set duration. Start = Timer ' Set start time. Do While Timer < Start + PauseTime DoEvents ' Yield to other processes. Loop Finish = Timer ' Set end time. TotalTime = Finish - Start ' Calculate total time. MsgBox "Paused for " & TotalTime & " seconds" Else End End If List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
