Form Please Wait Message

I have a form called Clients that's really slow to open. I know why it's slow
but there's nothing I can do about it.

I was wondering if there's a way that I can display a pop up message when
the user clicks the button on the Clients form to open it. This way the user
would know that the form is in the process of opening. I would want to the
message to display on click and close automatically once the Clients form is
open.

I've create a Message form and I can get that form to open on click but I'm
not sure how to get the Message form to close automatically when the Clients
form opens.

Any help would be appreciated,

Paul
 
Hi. I believe the following should work for you.
Assuming your message form is called "messageform".

As the very last item in the main (clients) form "Form_Load ()" event, place
the following:
DoCmd.close acForm, "messageform", acSaveNo
