I have a macro which runs a (very long) series of make table queries.
The process takes up to 10 minutes and I run it by clicking on a
button in a Switchboard page. Is there any way to have the name of
the particular query show somewhere on the screen so I can make the
user happy that something is actually happening, with the query name
changing to show the appropriate query that is being run
TIA

I use a non-model popup form called ProgressBar. It has a box control
that increases in width either programmatically or with the passage of
time. It is controlled by code in the calling form. It can also
display a message.
