Hi Bill,

You mean:

DECLARE Sleep IN Win32API;
  INTEGER dwMilliseconds
= Sleep(nSeconds * 1000)

Yeah, that's there too, and has its place. However, I've posted so many API solutions, that folks might get the idea that's all I'm interested in. And, yes, folks, I have using a timing loop for this purpose too.:-)

I think that our friend Dragan once said that something can be done either 3 ways in VFP or not at all. In this case, 4 if you count the API.< BG >
