Error loop help

[epicfail]

is there anyway to make it that if it Errors 5 times in a row it will then put it in a sleep 4 30min?

Func Start()
        _IELoadWaitTimeout(300000)
    $oIE = _IECreate ("www.mysite.com")
    If @error Then
        _IEQuit ($oIE)
        Sleep(300000) ;5 min
        start()
    Else
        ;Do Stuff
    EndIf
EndFunc

Global $count = 0
Func Start()
        _IELoadWaitTimeout(300000)
    $oIE = _IECreate ("www.mysite.com")
    If @error Then
        $count += 1
        _IEQuit ($oIE)
        If $count == 5 Then
            $count = 0
            Sleep(1800000) ;30 min
        Else
            Sleep(300000) ;5 min
        EndIf
        Start()
    Else
        ;Do Stuff
    EndIf
EndFunc

Or at least what I understood of your description. What exactly do you want to happen? When exactly should it sleep?

Yes it can be done. I wouldn't call the function start from within the function start.

Func Start()
    Local $iCount = 0
    Local $bLoad  = False 
    _IELoadWaitTimeout(300000)
    
    Do 
        $oIE = _IECreate("www.mysite.com")
        If @error Then
            $iCount = $iCount + 1
            If $iCount < 5 Then 
                Sleep(300000)
            Else
                Sleep(1800000)
                $iCount = 0
            EndIf
        Else
            $bLoad = True
        EndIf
    Until $bLoad = True
    ; _IECreate successful
    ; Now do some stuff here
EndFunc   ;==>Start

well what i want it to be able to do is if the _IECreate @Error 5 times it will then make the script sleep for 30min then it will try to do the _IECreate again after 30min

Changed my code a bit but now it should do what you want.
