Hi List,

I'm back after a small delay caused by XP destroying my system.

Today's problem is this.  I have a form that runs quite a lengthy
(minutes) process, so I am developing a trace logger that shows the user
the progress of the process.  The logger is an unbound form with a
single text box in it into which I add progress messages.  The user sees
(or should see) the following appear as the process executes:

Opening Outlook Session
Checking for new part supply emails
There are 4 new eMail items to process
Processing email from "<sender>" at <time sent>
Processing email from ..... 
Etc

The problem is that the form does not display anything until the process
is finished, which is basically useless.  I have tried running the
process from the Current, Activate, Load and Open events with the same
outcome. So my question is - where or how can run this process
automagically when the form is on the screen?

Tia
Bruce
