    Use the Timer function.
    From the Excel help file on how to use it...

    VB Code:
    1. Dim PauseTime, Start, Finish, TotalTime
    2. If (MsgBox("Press Yes to pause for 5 seconds", 4)) = vbYes Then
    3.     PauseTime = 5    ' Set duration.
    4.     Start = Timer    ' Set start time.
    5.     Do While Timer < Start + PauseTime
    6.         DoEvents    ' Yield to other processes.
    7.     Loop
    8.     Finish = Timer    ' Set end time.
    9.     TotalTime = Finish - Start    ' Calculate total time.
    10.     MsgBox "Paused for " & TotalTime & " seconds"
    11. Else
    12.     End
    13. End If
