    Pause

    I need to pause for 0.5 seconds (half a second)

    How can I do that.

    Applicatiom.Wait can only be used for whole seconds and a FOR ... NEXT loop is CPU dependant. Any good ideas?

    Gr,
    Ricardo

    Re: Pause

    This is an example of one way to do it with milliseconds. This creates a definable variable "sleep" and 500 equals half of a second.
