Jim,

Thanks

I used both the status bar and the form.

I also learned about repaint for the form so the updates to it reflect on
the screen.

I would like to show some info to the user when a macro is running.

I want the msgbox or balloon to become visable and stay visible unless I
unshow or unload it.

I want the macro to continue to run with no input from the user?

Any suggestions?
