I need to have a message box (vbokonly) close automatically if it has been
open for longer than 10 seconds.

thanks

I think all code execution stops while a message box or input box is
displayed. You could make your own Userform to look like a Msgbox and
use the ontime method to close it after a period of time.

Here is some code for a timed message box...

'***requires reference to "Windows Script Host Object Model"
Public Sub MessageTest()
Dim SH As IWshRuntimeLibrary.WshShell
Dim Res As Long

Set SH = New IWshRuntimeLibrary.WshShell
Res = SH.Popup(Text:="Click Me", secondstowait:=10, _
Title:="Hello, World", Type:=vbOKOnly)

End Sub
--
HTH...
