Clever Way to Show "Please Wait" form 1

[Rougy]

Hi,

I've got a report form that's got about five seconds of processing before it shows the resulting graphics form.

In the interim, I'd like to show a "Please Wait" form that will appear until the processing is done.

For some reason, the "Please Wait" form won't show completely. All the user sees is the outline in the middle of the screen.

I've tried using a simple pause routine, a for/next loop of about 500 to 1000 clicks, but nothing seems to be working.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
