Look in the user reference under timers. Note that these are hierarchical (as opposed to sequential) elements, if you add a timer at the root of your test script then the delay will occur between every request. If you want a delay for a specific request then add the timer as a child of the request. HTH, Scott -- Scott Eade Backstage Technologies Pty.
