There is not a "references" under my Tools menu bar.

It is on the Tools menu in VBA, not Excel. Choose References,
scroll down to "Windows Scripting Host Object Model" and check
it.


Dim ISH As IWshRuntimeLibrary.WshShell
Dim Res As VbMsgBoxResult
Set ISH = New IWshRuntimeLibrary.WshShell
Res = ISH.Popup(Text:="Hello", secondstowait:=3)
Debug.Print Res

Thanks for the lead and I understand that it might not always
work.

I can't seem to find how to install the Windows Script Host
Object Model.

There is not a "references" under my Tools menu bar.

Is there a way to have a Message Box that displays a value and

disappears after a time delay, say 2 seconds?

I would like to create a key-stroke macro which when I hit
<ctrl-t for
example, the macro will run and display a result in a message
box.

I'd then like the box to disappear after 2 seconds without the
user having
to click on "Yes".

Thanks for the help.
