    Sorry, no such creature. You either need to use the timer, the sleep API, or some of the other methods described in other posts. Search on delay and you will find at least 3 or 4 methods.

    Code:
    Declare Function GetTickCount Lib "kernel32" () As Long

Function Dealy(t As Long): Dim b As Long
    b = t + GetTickCount
    Do Until t < GetTickCount
        DoEvents
    Loop
End Function
    Well i made up a dealy function for you, it should wait t milliseconds.

    Kedaman,
    It seems like you are posting that code almost every day now. This was one of the other methods to search for.
