Default dynamically create userform

Ok, this is driving me crazy. Can anybody help? Please?

What I want is basically a custom MsgBox function replacement/enhancement.
I want to be able to send it custom button labels, and I've figured out how
to do that. I also want to be able to optionally make it disappear after a
certain amount of time, even if the user doesn't choose anything. That's the
part that's now giving me problems.
Here's what I've got so far, but if I don't click a button, it never closes
itself, and if I do click a button, it gives me a run-time error 1004: Method
'OnTime' of object '_Application' failed. I'm also guessing it's not going
to work so well if I don't send it a number of seconds to autoclose, but I
figure that should be fairly easy to code once I get the rest of it working.
