I am experiencing issues closing a userform that I am using as an information pop-up for users when selecting a specific mode in a different userform. I would like the pop-up (LAT_Notice) to present itself for a specified time period after clicking on CommandButton_1. Once the button is clicked, the code verifies that each textbox has values within (I realize I probably did not use the most efficient means here, but it works and I understand it at least) and lastly, checks to see if the mode has the wording "LAT" within. If LAT is found, it presents the LAT_Notice with the informational message. This is what I want timed. Any help is appreciated...

Code: 
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim iRow As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Test Plan")


With ws


ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="TEST"
    
  .Range("c3") = Me.Description.Value
  .Range("i3") = Me.RespEngAppr.Value
  .Range("l3") = Me.EngPhone.Value
  .Range("bz1") = Me.TestEng.Value
  .Range("bz2") = Me.ProjectNo.Value
  .Range("bz3") = Me.AltContact.Value
  .Range("bz4") = Me.AltPhone.Value
  .Range("bz8") = Me.DueDate.Value
  .Range("U8") = Me.TONo.Value
  
  .Range("D1").Value = ComboBox1.Value
    
'Coding for error message to pop up for lack of inputted data
  
        If Me.TONo.Value = "" Then
         
           MsgBox "You must complete the TO No field before Inputting Data", vbCritical

Maybe you can use something like this;

Code: 
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Popup "This message will disapear in 2 seconds", 2, "Notice"

instead of;

Code: 
LAT_Notice.Show
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("00:00:02"))

Thanks Haluk. I like the way the popup functions, but it is not timed from what I can tell in my code. When it pops open, the user must close it instead of it automatically closing. Any ideas?

Here is my current code;

Code: 
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim iRow As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Test Plan")


With ws


ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="TEST"
    
  .Range("c3") = Me.Description.Value
  .Range("i3") = Me.RespEngAppr.Value
  .Range("l3") = Me.EngPhone.Value
  .Range("bz1") = Me.TestEng.Value
  .Range("bz2") = Me.ProjectNo.Value
  .Range("bz3") = Me.AltContact.Value
  .Range("bz4") = Me.AltPhone.Value
  .Range("bz8") = Me.DueDate.Value
  .Range("U8") = Me.TONo.Value
  
  .Range("D1").Value = ComboBox1.Value
    
'Coding for error message to pop up for lack of inputted data
  
        If Me.TONo.Value = "" Then
         
           MsgBox "You must complete the TO No field before Inputting Data", vbCritical
           ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="TEST", AllowInsertingRows:=True, AllowDeletingRows:=True
           Exit Sub
                    
         End If
         
        If Me.ComboBox1.Value = "" Then

Sorry if I am not clear Haluk but thank you for your assistance. I'm looking for exactly what you provided, but with the popup to automatically close after a specific amount of time (no user interaction to close it). The code you provided opens the popup, but I (user) must close it by pressing the X in the upper corner, hitting the Okay button or just pressing ESC on the keyboard. I would like the user to not have to interact with this pop up at all if possible.

Thank you for your assistance up to this part though!

Hi again;

The code i proposed in message #2 should do what you want.

That is; the pop-up window should be automatically closed after 2 seconds, without the need of a user to hit the close button.

Hi,
If not resolved this issue try following:

Place following in a STANDARD module:

Code: 
Public TimeOut As Date


Sub CloseForm(ByVal Form As Object)
Unload Form
End Sub

Note Public Variable - This MUST be OUTSIDE any procedure & placed at TOP of the Module.


Place following in your Forms CODE PAGE

Code: 
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    TimeOut = Now + TimeValue("00:00:02")
    Application.OnTime TimeOut, "'CloseForm Lap_Notice'"
End Sub




Private Sub UserForm_QueryClose(Cancel As Integer, CloseMode As Integer)
    If CloseMode = 0 Then Application.OnTime EarliestTime:=TimeOut, Procedure:="'CloseForm LAP_Notice'", Schedule:=False
End Sub


In your commandbutton1 code Replace this part:

Code: 
       If Me.ComboBox1.Value = "LAT" Then
           LAT_Notice.Show
           Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("00:00:02"))
           Exit Sub
        End If

With This:

Code: 
If Me.ComboBox1.Value = "LAT" Then LAT_Notice.Show

Hopefully this will do what you want.

Just an observation - you are testing data entry inputs AFTER you have written data to spreadsheet.

Dave
