Works when stepping thru only

[Billy B]

The following code inserts a query, adds a new column that formats column C's
time as h:ss, moves that column to the right of column C then hides Column C.

When I step through the code it works perfect but when I take all the break
points off and run it, column Column C is hidden and the results of the
CreateTimeFormula procedure does not seem to run (or there is some other
problem. I am really stuck. Thank you.

Check your query is not executing in the background.
If it is, it may not be completed in time for the rest of your code.

Try adding

..BackgroundQuery = False

Put this at the top of your code module:

Public Function HalfSecDly()
s = Timer + 0.5
Do While Timer < s
DoEvents
Loop
End Function

and then add this line:

HalfSecDly

after your call for:

CreateTimeFormula

Sometimes the End Sub executes before code outside
the main sub can execute. It shouldn't, but it does.
With the delay, it might allow your time format code
to execute.
