The problem you're having is with the embedded spaces in the file name. The string should include the quote marks so the shell realizes it's an LFN.

The answer to the second part is to use the Sleep API call, since VFP doesn't have access to the WScript object itself. You'll find a sample of this in the article on the VFUG site.
