is this possible

[efsnstuff]

Is it possible to use a for or while statement in order to slow down the efs initalization so it will give the DDE statment more time to submit to Excel?

be cautious...

I use a "while" loop in my Speech routines to delay the actions of the EFS while waiting for the voices to finish playing. This can be done, but remember to try to TIME your delays to allow the EFS to continue operating. When you are in a LOOP, the EFS is haulted and thus new ticks are not being processed as fast as they would be without the loop.

Let me know if I can help..
