I'm sorry but starting Excel is not the main activity in my program.

I do lot of of processing before opening Excel. I then open Excel and and then do lot of processing. I'm doing all this inside the main().

I just want to display a message to keep the user engaged while user waits for excel to open in the background(invisible). I don't necessarily want to use a form if there is any other alternative available.

I thought, using a non-modal form would be very simple. It doesn't seem to be so.

That's exactly I don't want to do - block the following code.

I want to display a Wait message (using the form) until Excel is opened and hide it as soon as Excel is opened. So I want Excel to open while the message is being displsyed.

I could do it without any problem in VB6 with simple frm1.show as against frm1.show(vbModal).
