Put a DoEvents statement in your process...that will let a process finish. Once the form is loaded, I would then recommend Screen.ActiveForm.Refresh if you want to show 'updates' as to what you are doing....

What I would like to do is have a message displayed on the screen saying something like "Generating Report..." or something to that extent, to let the user know that Access is "working" and not just locked up or something. I tried in the past to achieve this with a small form, but the form did not always load properly or completely while the function was churning away. How can I achieve this while having the form load completely?
