Sorry, I took a couple of days off and have just gotten back to this.

This is the test code I have tried. It calls the UserForm but it never closes.


Sub test()

UserForm1.Show
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("00:00:05"))
Unload UserForm1

End Sub

It is probably easier and more flexible to use a UserForm with a label for
the messagel Then you can show it and unload it with regular code.

UserFrom1.Show
Wait(Now + TimeValue("00:00:05")
Unload UserForm1

Found this code below on-line, it is designed to close a file after it has
been open for a period time. The problem is that the MsgBox sits there
waiting for a reply. I want the MsgBoxes to display so the user will know
what is happening, but I would like them to display for only about 5 to 10
seconds and then disappear and the code to continue.

Dim Start, Finish, TotalTime, TotalTimeInMinutes, TimeInMinutes
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

TimeInMinutes = 6 'Timer is set for 180 minutes; change as needed.
If TimeInMinutes 5 Then
TotalTimeInMinutes = (TimeInMinutes * 60) - (5 * 60)
Start = Timer
Do While Timer < Start + TotalTimeInMinutes
DoEvents
Loop
Finish = Timer
TotalTime = Finish - Start
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
MsgBox "This file has been open for " & TotalTime / 60 & " minutes. You
have 5 minutes to save before Excel closes."
End If

Start = Timer
Do While Timer < Start + (5 * 60)
DoEvents
Loop
Finish = Timer
TotalTime = Finish - Start
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
MsgBox "Excel will now close."
Application.Quit
