making the application wait before closing

how would one make the application to wait for like 5 seconds between calls

example:
brwWebBrowser.Document.ExecWB OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, 0, 0

'In here i want to wait till the document has been sent to the printer
'then i want to close the application

This is a way to do it without API.
you can call it with Wait X (X is the number of seconds to wait for)

Code:

Public Sub Wait(howlong)
Dim temptime As Variant
temptime = Timer
Do
    DoEvents
Loop While Timer < temptime + howlong
End Sub
