Hi all!

Is there a way we can display a message on the screen when a certai
macro is performing a specific task?

I used the Msgbox "Generating File" option but this requires the use
to hit an 'OK' box to proceed. Can we have Excel flash/display
message quote "Generating FEV File................", without having th
user to hit any 'OK' button?

At the end of the execution, the flash message should automaticall
stop.

I would appreciate any help in this matter, thanks in advance.

Regds,

Hi

Use the statusbar

Application.StatusBar = "I am working"
' your code
Application.StatusBar = False


Or a few other options
