Default Create a 5 second message box that shows text in a cell

Dim cTime As Long
Dim WSH As Object

Set WSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
cTime = 10 ' 10 secs
Select Case WSH.Popup("Open an Excel file?!", cTime, "Question",
vbOKCancel)
Case vbOK
MsgBox "You clicked OK"
Case vbCancel
MsgBox "You clicked Cancel"
Case -1
MsgBox "Timed out"
Case Else
End Select

Is there a macro that will create a 5 second message box pop-up showing
text contained in Sheet1, B1 when Sheet1,A1=1? Both the values of A1
will change as will the text in B1. The box will need to open as often
as the value in A1 changes. Keep in mind I am using a "splash" which
may or may not inhibit a box from opening. Is such a request possible?
Any suggestions are much appreciated.
