Question : Insert delay into visual basic script

The following code establishes an SSH connection using PUTTY, and then uses Remote Desktop to connect to an XP computer.

Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "C:\Putty.exe -load MyProfile -pw MyPassword"
objShell.Run "mstsc /v: localhost:10001 /console /f"

My problem is that the line which establishes the PUTTY connection takes about 3 seconds to connect, but before it connects the Remote Desktop starts trying to connect and fails.  How can I insert a delay of a few seconds between the PUTTY connection and then the Remote Desktop connection?

Thanks.

Answer : Insert delay into visual basic script

For pure VBScript (.vbs), that would be:

    WScript.Sleep 3000 ' 3 seconds

But you should probably try it this way first:

    objShell.Run "C:\Putty.exe -load MyProfile -pw MyPassword", 1, True
