i make a userform with only a label on it, i center it and make it as wide as
the form.
then when my first macro starts i use something like this:

With UserForm1
.Caption = "Processing Scanner Data For " &
Format(Worksheets("Date").Range("B2"), "MMMM dd yyyy")
.Show
End With
DoEvents

then, when the 2nd macro i called:

UserForm1.Label1.Caption = "Adding Decipher Sheet Information"
DoEvents

when the 3rd macro is called:

UserForm1.Label1.Caption = "Summarizing Data By Line Number"
DoEvents


and when the code is done:

Unload UserForm1

As my macro begins to execute, I need to display a pop-up window that simply
just make a small form, close it after a few seconds , I do this as
splash screen on the opening of some of my sheets...
