Pause VB script

[coopsman]

I am trying to set up a script that will run a report, then pause 30 seconds, and then enter "Y". Is there a basic command to make the script wait or pause for a specified period of time? Thanks in advance.

I know in VB you can use this library,

Public Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwmilliseconds As Long)

and then use the sleep command (ie sleep(<miliseconds>)) in your code, not sure if it works in VB script though

Try this example.


set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject(&quot;WScript.Shell&quot
WshShell.Run &quot;calc&quot;
WScript.Sleep 100
WshShell.AppActivate &quot;Calculator&quot;
WScript.Sleep 100
WshShell.SendKeys &quot;1{+}&quot;
