Application.wait not activating at correct point
Hi,
I'm having a problem with application.wait in that the pause does not seem to be happening in the point of the code that the command is.
I was trying to use it so that an object showed at a certain point but below is a very basic data entry sub that is producing the same problem. When I run this code the pause happens after the word "this" appears and then after 5 seconds the other words appear but I want the pause to happen after "this" "is" "a" appears.
Sub PauseTest()
[a1] = "this"
[b1] = "is"
[c1] = "a"
Application.Wait Now + #12:00:05 AM#
[d1] = "test"
End Sub
