(OT in this group, BTW.)

Recommended method:

[declarations section:]
Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" Alias "Sleep" _
(ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

[in your code:]
Sleep 30000

You could do it without an API call, by, say, checking the clock and
looping:
x = Timer + 30
Do Until Timer >= x
DoEvents
Loop
...but this can affect performance.
