For a longish macro (made up of a few smaller macros), what is a simple way
of displaying a message box saying "operation in progress, etc", and then
when the macro has finished, another message box with an OK button saying
"operation completed"?

Thanks.

I somehow thought that both of the messages would be as simple as the second
one. And even though this macro is for my personal use, I implemented your
suggestions and it works.

Your method works, not appears to be working.
