It depends on how you want this message presented.
A lot of people are satisfied with the Status Bar being updated.

eg.
Application.StatusBar = "Please wait....saving in progress..."

Then at the end of processing
Application.StatusBar = False

Just to add, the built in Message Box will not work because it is Modal,
meaning that you code won't run while it is displayed.

You can simulate a message box with a useform. In xl2000 and later you can
show it as non-modal.

More than you need for this particular question, but for reference in case
you are unfamiliar:
