Tom,

I have set A1 to return values under certain conditions.  For example,
if an erroneous entry of a certain nature has occured elsewhere, it
might return a value of 1 in A1.  If it is an error of a different
type, it might return 2, and so forth.  The type of error will appear
as text in B1, according to the corresponding value in A1.  If I have a
single OK button to show that the message has been recognized, I would
like for the message pop-up to remain open until the user clicks on the
OK button.  Can you help with this?  Again, I am a VB novice, so please
give enough detail.  Thanks.

Michael

Tom,

There is perhaps a better way to approach my problem.  A one time
pop-up would be great, and without an OK button if I could make it
remain for approximately 10 seconds.  It would not need to repeat
itself.  The next message would pop-up only if there were to be a
change in the A1 value.

Also, assuming there would be an A1 type of construct in multiple
worksheets, would there need to be more than a single UserForm?

Thanks,

Michael
