Default Showing length of active cell in real time


Hi all,

I'm trying to write a macro that gets the length of an active cell and
then shows that value in real time, in a set location (like a little
box in the toolbar).

I've got the first part down, but I'm having trouble getting the output
part of it down. Anyone have a suggestion on what the easiest way to go
about this would be?

Thanks.

You can use the OnTime method of the Application object to run a
macro at a specified interval. See
www.cpearson.com/excel/ontime.htm for details and example code.
