processing message
I have a macro that takes quite a long to run and I would
like to show some kind of message during processing, like "Please wait - data being processed". What is the best way to do this? Hans |

Create a form with that message on and launch your macro from the form code.
If you want to show a progress bar, here are a few examples of good progress bars http://www.enhanceddatasystems.com/E...rogressBar.htm http://www.cpearson.com/excel/Progress.htm http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/files/developer.htm -- HTH Bob Phillips ... looking out across Poole Harbour to the Purbecks (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "hans" wrote in message ...

If you used MsgBox to show your message, the macro will halt and wait for user interaction. You can show a form with a progres bar-- overkill, I think
I would show the message on the application.status bar (help file) and turn the mouse pointer to an hourglass. |

This was a simple approach but what you asked for.
