Hello, I have quick question please.

in function below, if I use 2000 for miliseconds byval, what exactly does the calculation / 24 / 60 / 60 / 1000? What 2000 means in this moment for vba? Is it number of days, hours?

Code:
Function waitTime(ByVal milliSeconds As Double)
    Application.Wait (Now() + milliSeconds / 24 / 60 / 60 / 1000)
End Function

Thank you,

brgds,
Tomas
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
excel store 1 day as 1, ie x24 hrs x 60 min x 60 seconds x 1000 to get the milliseconds

the function just reverse the process from milliseconds back to day
