[AccessD] Shelling to a batch file - doevents

Gustav:  It's the built in status bar progress indicator made of blue segments at the bottom left of the screen.  I can certainly give the repaint a try.  In any event, won't a refresh will still constitute a reload of the form data and load the connection to the data at the server side?  Not the VPN screen update, but refreshing the form could still represent some CPU and data transfer work at the terminal server.  I suppose I can give them both a try.  My point was that the doEvents works to allow Access to update the progress indicator in the status bar without resorting to additional measures.  It is necessary and sufficient to update the display on a workstation but is not enough via remote desktop.
