Default Close msgbox automatically

Hi,

In XL2003, I can run the solution posted by me and the one by Leith without
setting this reference.

Set a reference to Windows Script Host Object Model (Tools References).
Copy and paste the TimedMsgBox code and try it. It works for me.

I am running on Office 2003, unless otherwise stated.

Hello EXCELMACROS,

Here is macro to close the dialog after 5 seconds. You can change this
to suite your needs.

Code:
--------------------

Sub TimedMsgBox()

Dim Msg As String
Dim Secs As Long
Dim Wsh As Object

Title = "Test"
Msg = "This will close in 5 seconds."
Secs = 5

Set Wsh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
RetVal = Wsh.Popup(Msg, Secs, Title, vbInformation + vbOKOnly)
Set Wsh = Nothing

End Sub

--------------------

Sincerely,
Leith Ross
