Assuming code has been executed in excel, one of the
following should help.
Wait Method Examples
This example pauses a running macro until 6:23 P.M. today.
Application.Wait "18:23:00"
This example pauses a running macro for approximately 10
seconds.
newHour = Hour(Now())
newMinute = Minute(Now())
newSecond = Second(Now()) + 10
waitTime = TimeSerial(newHour, newMinute, newSecond)
Application.Wait waitTime
This example displays a message indicating whether 10
seconds have passed.
If Application.Wait(Now + TimeValue("0:00:10")) Then
MsgBox "Time expired"
End If

Hello all excel users-
I have excel run a CGI through a web query, which runs a
script on a
UNIX box. The script runs for 3 minutes and the spits
out a file. I
was wondering how to make excel wait the 3 minutes, and
not crap out
with an error "Unable to get information from ..."? Is
it possible to
make excel wait or sleep that long while it waits?
Thanks
