[AccessD] Queries Progress Bar

  I agree as well.  Not much of a progress bar.  I'd rather put up an
animation.  To me, a bar that might reach 100% and then sit there for two or
three minutes because a server is slow is not only worthless, but would
imply that the app poorly developed. 

  Not something I'd want to put in front of a user.

  Nothing worse in my book then telling'em something and it's not right.

Jim.

What version of Access? With A2K2 it has no effect at all on the native
progress bar: still shows up.

But the biggest problem with this little tool is that you need to know in
advance how long the query will take to run before calling the progress bar.
Not much use IMHO. YMMV depending on network conditions etc. etc.

...works perfectly Stu ...it even takes the progress meter out of the status
bar ...just "calculating" :) ...looks like this is a "plug-in" solution
useful in a number of scenarios.
...of course I'd like to be able to match the gui with my own and perhaps
add a cancel option and a caption :) ...so, how was this done and is the
source available? ...never hurts to ask
:)
