What about doing it the standard way and use the Status Bar?

StatusBarStatus = Application.DisplayStatusBar
Application.DisplayStatusBar = True
Application.StatusBar = "Processing... please wait"
'
' Your code goes here
'
Application.StatusBar = False
Application.DisplayStatusBar = StatusBarStatus

I have a userform to input some data. After the user presses the "enter"
button, the data is recorded.

I've been asked to have an indicator that flashes for a moment to indicate
that information is being saved.

I was thinking of having text in a label that would say "SAVING..." in red
letters for a second or two. How would I accomplish that?

Thank you,

David
