Informational MsgBox

[sherylnance]

Hi all,

I have written a module that does does several things and takes a little while to run. I would like to have some sort of status box on the screen showing what step the process is at, but I dont want it to stop processing and wait for the user to press ok at each step. Is there a way to display progress without interruption?

Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.

You could simply do a small informational popup form and close it when the process is complete...

If you do this and you want to update the status on the form as the user waits, you will need to update the label, or text box, before each step starts and then use Me.Repaint to repaint the form so the caption or text box will update. Otherwise, it won't update until everything is done.
