Have you tried using a pause statement.

I've got a wait loop in my code that isn't doing the trick:

Dim Wait As Double

Wait = Timer

While Timer < Wait + 10

  '  basically do nothing.  just wait for the time to expire

Wend

Is that what you mean?

Have you thought of changing your code to close the Access application after you start the import and then adding perform logic to the VI job to open the Access database on success.

I haven't thought about that, but mostly because that would mess with the "process" flow of the Access application.

It first runs a VI job to import Purchase Orders.  Upon successful completion, it checks to see whether the user had ticked a flag to import related Sales Orders and then conditionally runs a second VI job that imports Sales Orders.

While I could implement your suggestion, I would either have to offload the conditional checking to VI ( which would be a pain ) or completely rethink the Access application, which I don't want to do either.
