Auto Exec error w/o msgbox

[zSplash]

I have an auto exec macro that runs great if I put a msgbox before it, but
just stops if I comment out the message box. What do you think I could
replace the msgbox with so that whatever "action" results from clicking the
msgbox is invisible to the user?

Here's the code:

Sub AutoExec()
MsgBox "doingAction"
WordBasic.disableAutoMacros 0
AddIns.Add FileName:="S:\F.dot", install:=True
GenMerge.genIt
End Sub

TIA

Hi zSplash,

my experience with some kinds of automacros is,
that they execute too fast, in a way.
Due to multitasking or asynchronous execution
or something the like.

Try:

Sub AutoExec()
Application.OnTime _
When:=Now + TimeValue("00:00:02"), _
Name:="continue"
End Sub

sub continue
' whatever
end sub
