As stated before sleep is not a good option as the user is not able to
do anything in the meantime.
application.ontime is a much better alternative. here an example: (m2
being the name of the macro that will be executed)
time = Now + TimeValue("00:00:01")
Application.OnTime time, "ThisWorkbook.m2"Note that the smallest increment here is seconds. With the sleep function you can pause the code for milliseconds. with Application.OnTime time,"ThisWorkbook.m2", schedule:=False you can cancel the execution of the macro. This is only possible if Now () < time that means if the call has already been made (but not executed because another macros is currently active) the start of the macro cannot be prevented (well, actually you can close the workbook but that's not feasible). regards, lezley --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
