I would like a 1 second delay in my code. Below is the code I am trying to make this delay. I think it polls the date and time off the operating system and waits until the times match. I am having an issue with the delay. I think it does not poll the time when it matches the wait time and it just sits there and freezes up. It only freezes up about 5% of the time I run the code. I was wondering about Application.Wait and if there is a way to check if the polled time is greater than the wait time.
newHour = Hour(Now())
newMinute = Minute(Now())
newSecond = Second(Now()) + 1
waitTime = TimeSerial(newHour, newMinute, newSecond)
Application.Wait waitTime
I use this little function for VBA.
Public Function Pause(NumberOfSeconds As Variant)
On Error GoTo Error_GoTo
Dim PauseTime As Variant
Dim Start As Variant
Dim Elapsed As Variant
PauseTime = NumberOfSeconds
Start = Timer
Elapsed = 0
Do While Timer < Start + PauseTime
Elapsed = Elapsed + 1
If Timer = 0 Then
' Crossing midnight
PauseTime = PauseTime - Elapsed
Start = 0
Elapsed = 0
End If
DoEvents
Loop
Exit_GoTo:
On Error GoTo 0
Exit Function
Error_GoTo:
Debug.Print Err.Number, Err.Description, Erl
GoTo Exit_GoTo
End Function
