Can you suspend processing an excel spread sheet for a period of time (say 1 second). So that when some vba code is hit, there is a timer that delays subsequent code executation for a specified amount of time?

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Hi
I use this little delayer in alot of my programs.

To call it, just type SD NumOfSeconds
For example, to delay your code for about a minute, put this in SD 60
It will call the Sub and stop for about 60 seconds.

Place the code in a standard module

Sub SD(LenTime)
Dim Start
Start = Timer
Do While Timer < Start + LenTime
DoEvents
Loop
End Sub

Hey RP
Please edit the code as follows

Sub SD(LenTime)
Dim Start
Start = Timer + LenTime
Do While Timer < Start
If Timer = 0 then Start = Timer + LenTime
DoEvents
Loop
End Sub

The code as I gave it to you befor will run an endless loop if it happens to run at midnight.
