A MsgBox or Form to display info without waiting for a close comma

I would like to put a msgbox on the screen while a procedure is running and
then when my procedure is complete I will then issue a command to close the
msgbox.
I don't want the Msgbox to sit there and wait for a close command.
I'm not exactly sure how to do this. Can I do this with a Msgbox command or
a form that kind of looks like a Msgbox? I've played around a little bit
with this and my program stops in the MsgBox like it's waiting for me to
close it, but I don't want it to stop and wait, I want it to continue on and
I will close it myself through code. I don't want to use a timer either.

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much.
 
Msgbox will block execution until you acknowledge it. So you'll have to use
something else. You could use a statusbar message if you want it to be
visible but unobtrusive. A form displayed in dialog mode will stay on top
and block execution. A non-dialog form will not stay on top. So I'm not
sure either of those would work well for what you want.
