pause exacution

i'm writing a vb program that solves sudokus. during program exacution, i would like it to pause for a couple of seconds after placing each value in the puzzle, so the user can see what the program is doing. however the only pause related funtion i can find refers to timers not exacution. anyone know how to do this?

Yes you can use the Sleep API (http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.asp?ID=7556)

that was of no help, i went to the link and i tried copy pasting the code, and got several errors, first it says private declare is wrong then it says lib 'kernel32" is wrong then it asks me if i want to over write my current work, which i dont want to do. could you give futher instuctions, how to i impement a function like this?

I guess its possible something like that wont work first time but i dont know why you got all those other errors/messages.

Which office program are you using? Ill test it out and upload a file if it works

i'm using evelop. thanks for trying to help anyway.

Ive not heard of evelop. I dont know if thats a spelling mistake or what but ive got just about all of office 2007 installed and i havnt got anything that even sounds like that

envelop is a visual basic compiler it has nothing to do with windows office.




Please post legacy VB questions, in the General forum.

Thank you.

Oh sorry. You posted this thread in the "VBA / Office integration" forum.

I think that example could be a bit missleading because it says there are no declarations. The first line of the code "Private declare...." is actually a declaration and must be put at the top of your code before any subs
