I have a small problem within a macro I have. The macro works but there is a delay within I'm trying to solve. Here is the part of the macro where the problem is: While (F<>"S" and F<>"Z" and F<>"E") F=Sess0.Screen.WaitForKeys(F) WEnd What this is doing is obviously waiting for an input and...

Calculus, Thanks for your help on all of this. That is how it seems to be for me at this point - trial and error - and help files. I just don't have the time to study them like I want to at work. I'll get there, I see how my macro should work, now I'm working on putting it on paper persay. It's...
