how do I build a pause (or delay) into my macro?
 

I am running a macro that activates a 2nd macro, waits for the data to
load (maybe 5-10 seconds) then outputs the response, then an identical
macro #3 etc. through #10. Each rnning from a different data set. The
problem I am having is that my meta-macro (that runs #1 through #10)
runs so fast I cannot look at the output between each one. I want my
meta-macro to run #1, pause 15 seconds so I can manually look at the
data and then run #2, but I have no clue how to write a pause command
in the code (yes, I am a total newbie!) Thanks for any pointers!

Try this line of code to make the macro wait
Application.Wait Now + TimeValue("00:00:15")

Look in help at the Wait command.
