delaying an event for several seconds

[jonefer]

I'd like to delay the event of a command button for several seconds so that I
can focus my cursor onto another window of another app.

Is it possible to set a delay without a timer event that cycles?
if so -- any suggestions?

Also - when the event runs - will it re-focus back to the form that calls it?

Try using the API Sleep function. There's code to call it from VBA at the
following URL ...
