Pausing in Vbscript without using wscript.sleep

[DaiDreamer]

Is there a way to pause a vbscript without using wscript.sleep?

Thanks!

This will work,

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot
WshShell.popup "waiting for 3 seconds", 3

You can also do it by calling QBASIC -

I actually use this in a batch file, but if you used FSO to write out a TEMP .batch file, you could execute it. Here's what the batch file needs to look like. PS - This works on NT 4.0, that I know of, because it has the "qbasic.exe" file in C:\WINNT\system32. I've also made it work on Win2K, which doesn't have QBASIC, but you can copy the file in and it works like a charm.

@echo off
>%temp%\sleep.$@$ echo sleep 5
>>%temp%\sleep.$@$ echo system
qbasic /run %temp%\sleep.$@$

Hope it helps.

This worked for me:

	'sleep 
	varNow = Now
	while DateDiff(&quot;s&quot;,varNow,Now) < 2 
	wend

NOTE: 2 is the time interval.
