kernel32.dll in VB 3 and making a program wait inside a subroutine

[krackers]

Haveing trouble in loading kernel32 in vb 3 when I do I get an error saying:

"Error in loading DLL"

This also happens when using advapi32.dll. Do 32bit DLL work with vb3?

also

I am trying to make my vb 3 program to wait 500 milliseconds during a subroutine, I was planning on using the "sleep" function in kernel 32. Is there another way of doing this in vb3?

Note: I can't use a timer because I need to keep the program flow in the subroutine and the need to keep the local variables.

Thanks,
krackers

for the first part, you cant use 32 bit with vb3, you have to use the 16 bit version.
for the second part, try this...

Sub Pause(Seconds)
Dim PauseTime, Start
PauseTime = Seconds ' Set duration.
Start = Timer ' Set start time.
Do While Timer < Start + Seconds
DoEvents ' Yield to other processes.
Loop
Finish = Timer ' Set end time.
End Sub
to use it for 500 milliseconds it would be pause(.5)
