Comment showson open then deletes
 

I would like to insert or show a message / comment when a worksheet is
opened for the first time. I then want the comment or message to delete
itself.
Basically, I'm trying to embed a 2 or 3 sentence instruction for users then
have it go away after 15 seconds or after they read it so it doesn't
interfere with future cell data.
Any idea's ?
Thanks.

John,

A macro can do this. If you're willing, we'll write it for you.
