For MS Access: Launch a hidden form with Me.TimerInterval set and a Form_Timer event handler. Put your to-be-delayed code in the Form_Timer routine - exiting the routine after each execution.

E.g.:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Me.TimerInterval = 30000 ' 30 sec
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Timer()

    Dim lngTimerInterval  As Long: lngTimerInterval = Me.TimerInterval

    Me.TimerInterval = 0

    '

    Me.TimerInterval = lngTimerInterval
End Sub

"Your Code goes here" will be executed 30 seconds after the form is opened and 30 seconds after each subsequent execution.

Close the hidden form when done.
