Im creating a maco in Access that executes a batch file which executes a script that generates several txt files that are then imported into the database by the next action in the macro. How can I pause between the creation of the txt files and the transfer of said files for a minute so that the txt files will actually be there when the next part of the macro tries to import them?
 
If you are trying to do this in VBA then try forum705. This forum is specifically for VB5 and 6. Otherwise use the 'Find a Forum' search link at the top of the page to choose the most appropriate of the (many) Access forums.
