CLR

Wait number of seconds in A1
 

Hi All......
If someone would be so kind.......how can this code be modified to "wait"
the number of seconds corresponding to the value in A1?

Application.Wait Now() + 0.000005787037

TIA
Vaya con Dios,

Application.Wait Now() + Range("a1").Value / 86400

I would not do it that way. YMMV.

Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
....
Sleep Range("A1").Value*1000 ' Untested

Thanks for the comeback Walter, but the other way works just fine, once I
got it straightened out........do you see some hidden danger with this
method?

Not at all! It just makes more sense to me to have code which waits for
two seconds rather that for two seconds from now. (I now they're the
same thing.) As I said, YMMV.
