Independantly running code
Hi
I dont know if this is possible, but i have a few command buttons on an excel sheet and would like to use the mouse over to put a comment in the status bar to tell the user what the buttons do. The after say 10 seconds i would like the status bar to return to saying "Ready...." is there a way of instigating a piece of code to run and reset after 10 seconds without halting the other code? TIA Nath |

Look at Chip Pearson's page on the Ontime method
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/ontime.htm What he has is more than you need, but it should give you the idea. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Nath" wrote in message ...
