Slowing Outlook Vbscript macro
I've got a macro (Outlook XP) that does some Sendkeys - but I need to pause between key presses. If this was a Wscript VBS I would do Sendkeys (%f) Wscript.sleep 1000 Sendkeys (o) This doesn't work within Outlook. Pointers? This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.

RE: Slowing Outlook Vbscript macro
This is something I have used in Excel. It was cut from MS help for VB applications. Don't know if it will work for what you are doing, but worth a try. ' we have to wait while the previous command runs. PauseTime = 5 ' Set duration. Start = Timer ' Set start time. Do While Timer < Start + PauseTime DoEvents' Yield to other processes.

Re: Slowing Outlook Vbscript macro
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
