.Bookmark = .RecordsetClone.Bookmark

I am at a loss. I have a button on a subform (continuous) to select a record
to display on another subform, which has some onCurrent events. This works
just fine but does take a few seconds and I wish to display a please wait
label on the parent of the subform that houses the button.

The label is visible, I have ensured that. When user selects the button to
display a record, the label should be visible but is not. When I step
through it is made visible correctly, but the net effect for user is that the
label is never visible.

Code:
Forms![frm1 Client]!Reservationfrm.Form!lblPleaseWaitInvoice.Visible = True
With Forms![frm1 Client]![Reservationfrm].Form![Jobfrm].Form
.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "InvNum = " & Me!txtInvNum
If .RecordsetClone.NoMatch Then
MsgBox "Record not found!"
Else
.Bookmark = .RecordsetClone.Bookmark
End If
End With
Forms![frm1 Client]!Reservationfrm.Form!lblPleaseWaitInvoice.Visible = False
Forms![frm1 Client]![Reservationfrm].Form![tabJob].SetFocus

Anything I try works (when in debug) but in real time nothing happens as it
appears the .bookmark= function takes over.

Does anyone have advice?

Thanks.

The issue is that you are not setting focus to the new form so that it
becomes "visible" to the user while the rest of the code runs.

But, try a DoEvents to let the PC have some time to catch up:

Forms![frm1 Client]!Reservationfrm.Form!lblPleaseWaitInvoice.Visible = True
DoEvents
With Forms![frm1 Client]![Reservationfrm].Form![Jobfrm].Form
.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "InvNum = " & Me!txtInvNum
If .RecordsetClone.NoMatch Then
MsgBox "Record not found!"
Else
.Bookmark = .RecordsetClone.Bookmark
End If
End With
Forms![frm1 Client]!Reservationfrm.Form!lblPleaseWaitInvoice.Visible = False
Forms![frm1 Client]![Reservationfrm].Form![tabJob].SetFocus


If that is not successful, you may want to add a Repaint action too:

Forms![frm1 Client]!Reservationfrm.Form!lblPleaseWaitInvoice.Visible = True
Forms![frm1 Client]!Reservationfrm.Form.Repaint
DoEvents
With Forms![frm1 Client]![Reservationfrm].Form![Jobfrm].Form
.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "InvNum = " & Me!txtInvNum
If .RecordsetClone.NoMatch Then
MsgBox "Record not found!"
Else
.Bookmark = .RecordsetClone.Bookmark
End If
End With
Forms![frm1 Client]!Reservationfrm.Form!lblPleaseWaitInvoice.Visible = False
Forms![frm1 Client]![Reservationfrm].Form![tabJob].SetFocus


And if the above are not successful, this should do the trick:

Forms![frm1 Client]!Reservationfrm.Form!lblPleaseWaitInvoice.Visible = True
Forms![frm1 Client]![Reservationfrm].SetFocus
DoEvents
With Forms![frm1 Client]![Reservationfrm].Form![Jobfrm].Form
.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "InvNum = " & Me!txtInvNum
If .RecordsetClone.NoMatch Then
MsgBox "Record not found!"
Else
.Bookmark = .RecordsetClone.Bookmark
End If
End With
Forms![frm1 Client]!Reservationfrm.Form!lblPleaseWaitInvoice.Visible = False
Forms![frm1 Client]![Reservationfrm].Form![tabJob].SetFocus

Way kewl, Ken.

I tried the first one and it worked! The setfocus I was missing made sense,
but I will take what you gave me. Has other apps for me, too.

Thanks for the help.

Me.Repaint
and/or
DoEvents
