[AccessD] Queries Progress Bar

  Or "She'll be coming around the mountain.."

  But I've got to tell you, I have some Star Trek sound bites recorded and
have tossed them in a couple of apps for a joke.  I had used the one that
says "Working..." for queries or long running processes and "Analysis
complete" at the end.

  Never played anything during the entire run of the query, but I do like
John's idea<g>

Oh that would be cool! Play a clip of the sound from Jaws... du-dum. du-dum
du-dum du-dum... as
your query progressed. Freak your users right out!
