To Display a figure while excel is ready to GO!

Hi,
I have a workbook including VBA codes with a lot of worksheets and takes
about a minute to finish calculating cells related to one another before
eventually Excel is ready to operate. The "sand-clock" used by default with
XL is not enough in my case. I need to display a text saying "Please wait a
minute until the app. is ready to start" or even better a picture giving the
message of 'Please Wait' until excel is ready to function. Nice examples
created and shared by experts here will be most wellcomed.
Regards

You wish! these are just the "standard" solutions available. I could
think of a few more given the time.

Choosing will be hard enough as it is

Happy choosing.
