Did there is any macro code can ask the program to sleep
for 5 seconds and then run the next code??

Many Thanks

Depending on what application you are programming, check the OnTime
method or the Wait method. Worst case scenario, you will have to use
the 'sleep' Windows APIs. For an example see Shyam Pillai's

The following routine waits in a loop allowing other
events to execute.

Sub Pause(Seconds As Double)
Dim Start As Double

Start = Timer()
While Timer() < Start + Seconds
DoEvents
Wend
End Sub

Example: Pause(0.5) ' Wait .5 seconds
Pause(5) ' Wait 5 seconds
