Hi

The procedure below must delete all data from a table, which have given
dates, refresh two queries based on this table, and recalculate some values
(last and previous price for item in data table, and the difference)
adjacent to one of query tables. The problem is, that the code don't wait
until queries are refreshed - as result recalculated values will be wrong,
or - when the number of different dates in table will be less than 2 - the
procedure stops with error. I tried to use Application.Wait, but it didn't
help (the waiting time was ~1 - 5 minutes, depending on number of rows in
data table).

How can I test, are queries finished refreshing, and to continue with code
after that?

Thanks in advance!
