Status indicator

[Jeff]

Is there a way to display and remove a message box without user input or
display a status indicator like the ones used on loading software?

I have a couple of lengthy operations which I would like to display some
sort of status indicator to an impatient user and only changing the icon to
an hourglass is very limited...

thanks

Create your own form and display it.

You can write to controls on a form from code running anywhere in Access
(assuming that the form's open!)

A quick Google for Access Prograess Bars reveals several options which I'm
sure you should be able to apply.

Four types here

Code for progress bars from overlying labels here

I hope this helps answer half of your question
