Can I show a UserForm\Msgbox while code continues?

Ahh - unfortunately I'll have to wait until the IT department get around to purchasing XL2000. Thanks for your help though, I'll keep it in mind.

sounds like a good excuse to upgrade if the bigwigs want it that way

There are other ways around getting what you want?
If I understand your Q, you are after a userform
to display while running your code ?? similar to
having a splash screen with some msg on it.
If so then there are a number of ways to do this
1) If you do want a userform then your code should
be in the userform.initialise routine.
2) You can create on the fly a textbox with a msg
3) Create your image or textbox msg and just use
its visible property to display when required.
4) you can via userforms creat progressbars to
display

Peter,
If you have XL97, there is no hope, but in XL2000, you can show a UserForm "Modeless", instead of Modal. Here is the proper syntax:

UserForm1.Show Modeless

Hope this helps, let me know.
