Hello world

Still can't find the solution to this problem. I have a userform that
shows
for 10 seconds as a splash screen on the workbook_open event. What I
would
like to do is have a countdown timer from 10 to 1 to show the user that
something is happening. I can get the textbox to show the intial value
but
I am having real problems in getting it to count down so the user can see
the changes! 10 to 1 in under a second! I have looked at the ontime
method, wait, pause method etc but don't seem to be able to get the
correct
syntax...
