i have an access 2003 database with a form i use for startup. my startup
takes approx 30 secs. during this time several functions in vb code are
running checking settings, setup etc etc. whilst the functions are running,
they write to an unbound text box on my startup form where the user can see
progress messages.
when it works its great but its not realiable. sometimes works, sometimes
doesnt. its as if the form just isnt refreshing, even thou the code asks it
too.
does anyone have any surgestions how to implement a better way of imforming
my users of startup progress. msgbox's would be great but i cant expenct the
user to have to click several times during startup.
