wait or pause in script

Re: wait or pause in script

You should be able to use a standard timer object, it just needs a little
boost
with a sub, and a couple of variables to make it extend into minutes. Here
is
an example that should work in your situation...

' Add Timer1 to form
' .Interval=60000 (this can be set to 1000 to count seconds instead)
' .Enabled=False
'Add public variables
' Public CurrentMinute As Single
' Public TimeLimit As Single
'
' Activate timer to begin counting off minutes
'
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
CurrentMinute=C urrentMinute+1
If CurrentMinute=T imeLimit Then
Timer1.Enabled= False
MsgBox "Time's Up": 'put code to execute other code, here
End If
End Sub
'
' Initialize variables
'
Private Sub Form_Load()
CurrentMinute = 0
TimeLimit=15
End Sub
