if u have 2 commands and want the 2nd command to run after a certain interval of time, u can use the timer control.
During design time; set its interval property to ur required time of pause (in milliseconds), set Enable property to false
Now for the coding part, after the 1st command statement just Enable the timer. In the Timer() event of the timer, write the 2nd Command followed by Timer1.Enabled = False for the Timer control.
I assume that u have two command buttons and one timer control on your form. When the first command button is clicked it executes the statements and in the last statement of this event, the timer control is enabled. Once the timer control is enabled the counting starts and after an interval of 5000 ms the Timer() event is fired. There the call for the second command button click event is placed. After the execution of which the timer control is disabled.
If u dont disable the Timer control after the call for the Command2 click event, then Timer() event it is fired again and again for every 5000 ms.
Eg:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Timer1.Interval = 5000 'for 5 seconds
Timer1.Enabled = False
End Sub
Private Sub Command1_Click()
'Write your code for the first command
Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Call Command2_Click
Timer1.Enabled = False
End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
'Write your code for the Second Command
End Sub
