Hi All

Ok, I have a button on a form that collects data. When the data has finished collecting, a normal vbInformation box comes up so the user can click OK. However, what I want to do is have a box that comes up whilst the data is being collected saying that the data is being collected and perhaps a percentage? Did not specify any form names or anything as I only need the code

Thankyou

In that case, I'd recommend a label on your data entry form.
Give it some nice design (larger font, background color..) with your desired message and set its "Visible" property to False.
In the OnClick event of the Button, put this:
[blue]
Me.YourLabelName.Visible=True
Me.Repaint
...
You data collecting code goes here
...
Me.YourLabel.Visible=False
End Sub
[/blue]

That should do it.

Ok, thats a great suggestion, thankyou

Only one final thing, how is it possible to make the label blink on and off?

Thanks!
