Word Form while processing?

[kaplooeymom]

I need to keep users from clicking in a document while a macro is
running.

Can I show a form, run the macro(s) while the form is up, then
disappear the form when the macros are complete and I can turn document
locking back on?


Thanks for any pointers!

Put the macro code into the form module.

Can I make use of document global variables if I do this? Some
variables are set at the doc level.

I've created a basic form, with a fake process bar, and it opens, runs,
and closes as desired. But, on slower PCs, users might be able to click
behind it. I tried to make it modal, but then the progress bar (text
box) didn't work.

Again, thanks.

Yes, but good programming doesn't need them.

So what's the question?
