Status Bar

[kennetha]

Hi all,

I've created a form which update certain data and transfers them to two tables...quite complex to explain in words.

QUESTION1:
Is there a possibility to create an updating status bar like the one in windows when you're installing a program, using an existing for-to-next-loop? It's not quite interesting to view the screen flipping numbers & letters. It can obviosly can be hidden but there should be a way to update(visually) the progress to the user.

Thanks
Kenneth.

Have a look at the Application.SysCmd method.

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV,

I was not refering to the Access status bar-It's useless & quite invisible.
I would like to create a form with a centred bar that when it's full, time waiting will be finished- task completed.
And why not.... an updating label underneat..

Thanks
Kenneth
