OnTimer Event
Thanks for taking the time to read my question.
Is there an OnTimer event in Excel, like there is in Access. I have a form that I want to show for a few seconds when my Excel Workbook opens. Just to show some general info like version, who make the workbook, etc.. Timer in Excel doesn't seem to work the same way. The help file says it helps calculate the time from midnight to now. Thanks again. Brad |

Perhaps something like:
Private Sub UserForm_Activate() Application.Wait Now + TimeValue("00:00:05") Unload Me End Sub -- Vasant "Brad" wrote in message ... Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

OnTimer Event
That Worked Perfectly!!! And the fact that the user can't do anything is ok
in my case too. Thanks!
