Form does not load until Loop has finished (1 Viewer)

[Phonik]

Hi

I have created a small form that hold a cube of 9 boxes on it. The idea is that it will act as a small icon that indicates the system is loading. (Purely cosmetic)

I have triggered the boxes to change colour on a loop when the form loads but the problem is that the loop function is being carried out before the form actually loads. How do I get the form to display first and then carry out the loops to change the colour of the shapes?

Thanks all...

Can you post an example of the db?

HI

Thanks for your reply. I have posted it now. If you try and open if the single form that is in there it will hang. The code is probably nothing like what I should be doing... :-(

Can anyone please help me with this?

Thanks

Everyone here is a volunteer you know.

I haven't looked at the sample, but I assume you have your code in the load event. Try the timer event instead, as the load event will process before you see the form.
