Splash Screen while calculating?

[1nk3d]

I am currently working a workbook that pulls data from a variety of sources. I am using a lot of lookups, which is slowing it down. That is a fix for another time. What I want is for while it is calculating processors, to have a splash screen. I have one currently, but it pulls up after the fact. Is this possi ble to have it load immediately and calculate in background?

haven't tried this, but from the macro change the page/sheet being viewed, as long as you don't use active sheet in your referencing code, then go back to the sheet when complete, ensuring worksheet_activate is suitable set not to do an update/calculate

It is still popping up after the workbook calculates....

 

[mole999]

no idea from the code you have posted

I didn’t post a code?

I didn’t post a code?

hmm, maybe that was what I was suggesting. I have no idea what you are using currently ->> "It is still popping up after the workbook calculates...." doesn't actually help

What I was hoping to achieve is when the workbook opens, a splash screen would display, indicating please wait while workbook calculates or something. And once it finishes calculating processors to go away. The splash screen shows up, but it isn’t until after the workbook calculates

and you still haven't provided any code to demonstrate where YOUR splash screen is being pulled from. I'm going to stop following this thread

I did not know you wanted the actual code. I can upload that later this afternoon

My apologies on the miscommunication. Here is what I have as far as my code. This was my latest attempt. I timed how long it takes to calculate which is where the 45 is from....

This is in the main workbook

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

This is in the user form

Private Sub Userform_Initialize()
Application.OnTime Now + _
TimeValue("00:00:45"), "KillTheForm"
End Sub

Finally the third part

Private Sub KillTheForm()
Unload UserForm1
End Sub

and you still haven't provided any code to demonstrate where YOUR splash screen is being pulled from. I'm going to stop following this thread
