Default Is there a way to add a timeout value to a line of code or functio


Is there a way to do a 'timeout' on a line of code or a function. I have a
VBA program that downloads files from our FTP server and software updates
from websites and saves them to specific folders on our computers. This is
used to keep everyone up to date on project files etc. The problem is that
sometimes the program hangs on waiting for a response from the server. I
have to close Excel from the task manager and start again.

Is there a way to put a timeout on the execution of a function or line of
VBA code. I guess this could help in the event that a function has an
infinite Do...Loop in it by mistake, you could say if the value is not
determined/returned after X amount of time, return an invalid value.
