And if you stick a DoEvents between While and Wend, you won't completely
freeze up the machine while waiting.

Hi,

I don't believe application.wait can discriminate less than 1 second but
maybe this

Sub SlowDown()
Dim x As Single
x = Timer
While Timer - x < 0.5
Wend
End Sub

I have often read that the application.wait method of introducing a pause
in
a thread is limited to a second or multiples thereof. Is this true? If
it
is true, then is there an alternative. If not, then how is the familiar
'timevalue()' written so that it accesses values that represent a part of
a
second.
