Put this at the start of the module, after Option Explicit, but before
the first Sub or Function :

Public Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" Alias "Sleep" _

(ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)


Then you can put a delay in your code like this


Sleep 500 ' 500 ms pause

If this is required in connection with printing, it may be better to set the
BackgroundPrinting switch to False.
