Dear List: The client would like a progress box to display during a lengthy calculation - can take up to a minute and I told him that some kind of indication should appear on the form so the user knows something is happening. I implemented one solution which is OK. I have a sub which adds a period to a text box on the calling form. And so I can lace calls to that routine throughout the calculations. Problem is that it doesn't produce these periods in equal time intervals. So what he really wants now is a progress indicator that would change every 1/4 second or so, and when it got to its maximum length would start over again. Not a difficult thing to do. I thought I could use the timer event on the form that calls the calculation, but the calculation is in a Public module and so, while it is running, the timer event doesn't trigger. Is there a way around this or another approach? MTIA Rocky Smolin Beach Access Software 858-259-4334 www.e-z-mrp.com <http://www.e-z-mrp.com/> www.bchacc.com <http://www.bchacc.com/>
