>Hi. Is there a way to put a 15 minute delay in a prg? DO WHILE takes 100,000,000 loops just to get 1 minute!

There are several ways - a DO WHILE loop is probably amongst the worst, as it will use 100% of a CPU if you let it, and a fixed number of loops will take different amounts of time on CPUs of different speeds.

An old Fox way to do it is INKEY():

=INKEY( 900 ) && pauses for 900 seconds (15 minutes)

You could use the WinAPI Sleep function: http://news2news.com/vfp/?group=58&function=80

Or, you could use a VFP timer control, and set its .Interval property to 900000 (900,000 milliseconds, equal to 900 seconds or 15 minutes).
