I want to create the message box for a sub-routine. The sub-routine
sometimes takes long to complete. As a result I want a message box (with no
button on it) to pop up once the sub-routine is activated and it is showing
"Please wait..." and then the first message box closes itself and another
message box with a "OK" button on it, saying "The change is sucessfully
completed." once the sub-routine is completed. Thanks.

The first can't be done with a MessageBox because a MessageBox must have a
button and all code would pause until it was closed. Just create a small form
and open that at the start of your sub-routine.
