Change the scope of the button from private to public and then write a
recursive sub to call the button click porcedure. Something like this

'**** In a standard code module
Public Sub PressTheButton()
Application.OnTime Now() + TimeSerial(0, 0, 10), "PressTheButton"
Call Sheets("Sheet1").CommandButton1_Click
End Sub

'**** In the Worksheet
Public Sub CommandButton1_Click()
MsgBox "Tada"
End Sub
--
