> 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?
