In VBA you can

Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

to provide yourself with a sleep routine.

However, the Long that must be passed to the routine appears to overflow for values in excess of 32000 milliseconds.

Is there a way to sleep for longer periods of time without the complexity of stringing together several consecutive calls to the sleep routine?

    No, it doesn’t overflow, unless your code that calculates required number of milliseconds causes an overflow.

    Example:

    dim t as long
    t = 10000 * 10000 / 10000 'Overflow
    

    Example 2:

    dim t as long
    t = 10000! * 10000 / 10000 'Ok
