Set up an event that looks at the system.second tag (0-59). If the tag value is 9, 19, 29, 39, 49 or 59 execute the VB procedure.

Better yet just put a timer in the plc that cycles a bit on when you want to run the application. Set up a tag that uses that address and set up the event to look at the tag. When the bit goes high, the VB code executes. That way if you decide to change from 10 sec to some other value is it an easy PLC code change instead of RS-View.

Use a macro to call your VBA routine.
In the macro place the following code
Pause 10
VBAExec VBA_ROUTINE_NAME
Call the macro in whatever object/event you are currently calling the VBA routine from.
By the way, if you then want to change it, its super easy to change (way easier than on a PLC) and you don't even need RSView Works to do it. A macro can be edited from any text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad.

Pause will suspend and queue the operation of only the macro. It won't hang other RSView operations. After the time expires the macro is rescheduled to continue operation by RSView.
