Hi all!

Is there a way we can display a message on the screen when a certain
macro is performing a specific task?

I used the Msgbox "Generating File" option but this requires the user
to hit an 'OK' box to proceed. Can we have Excel flash/display a
message quote "Generating FEV File................", without having the
user to hit any 'OK' button?

At the end of the execution, the flash message should automatically
stop.

I would appreciate any help in this matter, thanks in advance.

Regds,

Arun.
