Popup message and continue executing code

[FoxProProgrammer]

Is there a way to display a message on the screen without waiting for the user to press a button before continuing execution? I want to display "Record saved" in a small window after the user presses the Save button on a Form, but continue execution so they don't have to press Ok in a MsgBox. FoxPro has a feature that does this...It is WAIT WINDOW NOWAIT. I couldn't find an attribute of the MsgBox Function that doesn't require the user to press a button to close the message box and continue the program.

Thanks!

You can create your own form.

Thanks, I can create a form to do this, but Microsoft should add an attribute to MsgBox that mimics this action.

preaching to the choir, I'm sure!

Have a nice day...

Have a look at the SysCmd method.

Hope This Helps, PH.

SysCmd acSysCmdSetStatus, "Job Saved."

Access displays the message in the status bar. Is there a way to remove the message when the user moves the mouse? I put SysCmd acSysCmdSetStatus, "" in the Mouse Move event, but the event doesn't trigger.

The mouse event does seem somewhat erratic - when I tried that, it sometimes doesn't work at first.

What about setting the form's TimerInterval when you set the Status to a few seconds, and when the Timer fires, clear the Status? Don't forget to reset the TimerInterval at that point too.
