Loading Form Not Showing

[robbydogg]

Hello All - I'm hoping this is just a simple one.
Basically I have created a database where (what should happen is) a loading form/screen appears as the database runs some updating queries, then disappears when the macros and queries have run.

One problem I have is that it runs the macros and queries, but the loading form never shows - is there a simple explanation for this like I need to set a timer interval or something? Thanks for your help.

How are you loading the form? You should just set it in the Database startup options.

hi - i was loading it as the first command in the macro "autoexec". do you think it would be better for me to put it in the 'tools - startup - display form/page' then have it close as the last part of the running macros?

Yes, that was what I was thinking.
