Independantly running code

[Nath]

Hi

I dont know if this is possible, but i have a few command
buttons on an excel sheet and would like to use the mouse
over to put a comment in the status bar to tell the user
what the buttons do. The after say 10 seconds i would
like the status bar to return to saying "Ready...." is
there a way of instigating a piece of code to run and
reset after 10 seconds without halting the other code?

TIA

Nath

I personally never have a use for it in excel but i have
in access. do a search on syscmd or sysmeter. I pluged
both into my excel help and got nothing but then i may not
have the correct library activated.
good luck.

These are not supported in Excel.

Look at Chip Pearson's page on the Ontime method

What he has is more than you need, but it should give you the idea.
