In the absence of seeing any code it is hard to give a definitive answer but
you could try using DoEvents

I setup a query on an sql db. However I need the vba to pause while the query
refreshes and brings the data into Excel.

So far I have tried using
Application.Wait Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 10)

However if a user is daft enough to run a query on huge amount of data, i am
screwed.

is there a way of pausing until the data has finished refreshing?

Many thanks, Andrew
