Someone else might have a direct answer, but as a messagebox is just a modal form, you could design your own and after the required message has been displayed use something like

VB Code:

Obj.Update    (Where OBJ is the name of the control displayng
                          the message)
  Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)

to give a 5 second delay.

Message boxes interupt the process of your forms, you'd need to create you're on custom one for an easy solution.
