title: Outlook VBA Macro: Best way to indicate 'please wait'
body: <p>What's the best practice for indicating to the user that a Macro is running within Outlook ?
  The macro can take around 1-30 seconds to complete.</p>
  
  <p>I want to avoid a modal 'msgbox' popping up before the macro is run, as this can be annoying.</p>
  
  <p>I would rather avoid the hourglass cursor if possible, and wondered if there was a better way.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way of placing a non-modal 'status' message up, whilst the macro is running?</p>
  
  <p>(The macro I have runs against the currently selected mailItem - and it launched by a button on the Quick Access Toolbar).</p>
