Pop-up window that disappears automatically

[TPFKAS]

Hi guys,
I have a spreadsheet that saves itself at certain intervals.
Because it is quite big, saving takes some time during which no user interaction is possible.
I would like a pop-up window to appear during the save process that also automatically disappears once the save has finished.
Anybody knows how to do that?

Thanks!

This shows you how to create a progress bar:

You don't have to do any updating. You can just have a label with a message to the user.

Thx. I need to figure this one out a bit more, but I guess it should do the job.
One question: can one form be shown on top of another? Because that is likely going to happen in my sheet. There will be a pont that an input form is open while the saveing process will be started in the background.

Yes.
