I use the DoEvents and a do loop like this.<br />
<br />
Dim EndTime As Date<br />
<br />
&nbsp; EndTime = Format(Now + #12:00:10 AM#, &quot;long time&quot;)<br />
&nbsp; Do Until Format(Now, &quot;long time&quot;) &gt;&nbsp;EndTime<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; DoEvents<br />
&nbsp; Loop<br />
<br />
Hope this helps.<br />

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
