Hi all

I need to run a certain sub in vbcsript every 10 seconds?

What would be the easiest to achieve this?

Regards,

smithcza

You should take a look at DO...LOOP

This will call the sub once every 10 seconds. Once it has done it 5 times, it will exit the loop.
Always critical to add in a way to exit the loop...

This might sound stupid but I get a "Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Object required: 'WScript'" error.

I also got some other code from VBA that will run every 10 seonds, but this locks me out of the form, I can't do anything on the form while the loop runs. I need a option to bomb it out of the loop manually.

DoEvents is VBA, doesn't work with vbscript.

Thanks,

smithcza

I modified my earlier code - it was aircode, and I had put Exit Loop instead of Exit Do.

Anyways, what environment are you running the code in? if youa re saving it to a .vbs file and then running that file form windows, and are still getting the object error referencing WScript, you might want to reinstall WSH.
