I know in access you enter the command DoEvents
At this command the program will check fields needing updating and check for keyboard entries. Not sure what else it checks for. Then executes those before continuing. -----Original Message----- From: HouseDad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 7:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vbhelp] TEXTBOX UPDATE Hello all, it's your annoying groupie again. I have a problem with the textbox being updated properly. What I mean is, for instance, a button is pressed to begin a process. When this button is pressed I change the cursor, send progress info such as "Working on Item#...", and set the visible property of the button control to false. The problem is none of these things are visibly apparent until the program is done processing data. It looks like the program locks up until it's done, then all the things that should have happened when the button was first pressed happen at once when it is finished. So far the only way I have figured out to update the form is to pop up msgbox's, which is annoying and slows the process. Any ideas? Would an extra form.show command help? I can't make a progress bar either because it doesn't show progress until it's already done.
