I want to display a "count down" counter on a form while the app is processing a somewhat large data set. I have a push button on the form that executes the program and I want the form to display something like : "Processing record# 20 of 10000"
This app may take 1-2 minutes to completely execute and this is feed back to the user. I have tried the SCREEN RESTORE, WRITE and RECALC commands, but cannot get the form to show updated variables until the procedure has finished. (It is then a moot point of course!) I do not want to use the FEEDBACK option as I would like more control over what and how the counter is displayed. You all have been very helpful and I appreciate the assistance. Again, simply how do you get a variable to redisplay at will on a form while you are performing a WHILE LOOP or DECLARE CURSOR ?
