Thermometer

Where do you find a thermometer that counts down while a
process runs and how do you use it? I am Access 2000 and
have a process that runs when the database opens. I want
a message to appear when it opens to tell user something
is happening and to wait a minute while it runs.

Have a look at the Status Bar SysCmd function in the knowledge base. It may
be what your looking for:

Look up SysCmd in Access help. That's the built in tiny
little progress bar down at the bottom left hand corner of
the main window.

There is another roll your own bar on a form but I can't for
the life of me remember the URL.

Anyone else?
