[mrzoogle]

Hope everyone is getting ready for the weekend for a blast ! I have a one question before we hit that weekend. I was trying to create something like when u open the excel spreadsheet a pop up message will appear saying " Welcome to ABCD Dashboard " possibly with the nice animation and will last for few sec and will disappear. It must not interfer any graph or shapes within the worksheet. Have anyone done this before ? Thank you all for help !!

Hi xld,


Thanks for share the link. This is quite interesting stuff you've got there. Unfortunately this is something different to what I am looking for.


What I am looking to do is something similar to Mr.Daniel's work

I would like mine to be on a shape or form (possible) so that it won't interfer with the background work. It will show a text message something like " Welcome to ABCD " with few animation and will disappear after 5 sec.

The only problem with this code is that it display text message in a single cell rather than on a particular shape. Size of the font is also a problem.


Can you give me few ideas on how to make a nice pop up message thing


Thanks tons !!!

Create yourself a picture with your required text in it and embed the image on the form.
