Form freeze (Access 97 and Access 2002)

Rob
Problem: Main form and progress bar do not update as data
manipulation progresses

I have a progress bar located in the status bar and some text boxes on
the main form that show the progression of records being read and
saved. Me.Repaint is in code to update the form and progress bar.
Sometimes the form and progress bar work, but most of the time they
freeze and do not show the end-user what's going on.

If I <crtl><break> to interrupt the code and then resume running the
code, the form works properly from that point by updating the progress
bar and record count.

When I first start the routine, an SQL logon dialog box queries for a
password to ODBC tables. I don't know if this has any bearing on
what's happening. Even if the SQL tables are already open, I have the
same freezing problem, until I <crtl><break> to interrupt and then
resume.

Any ideas on how to kick-start the form from the get-go so the
progress bar and record counter consistantly repaint like they're
supposed to?

Thanks!

I was told by an instructor of Oracle SQL that an MS Access database cannot be used to have several people enter records at about the same time, that the database will "freeze up" as a result - meaning, it'll lock out everyone else until the first person who got to the database (via a Web application, for example) is done updating his or her record. He was saying that only one update can be done at a time to an Access database. However,...

Hi, I have a form that take some time to load due to many comboboxes and at least 8 subforms. When I filter or sort the main form I get an error message and then Access shuts down. They ask if I want to send the error report to Microsoft. Has anybody seen this type of error message and what can I do to prevent it from happening. Am I doing something illegal in my code? It used to work but I have added conditional formatting to a subform...

I have a user who is having a problem with an access database that I didn't build and haven't had anything to do with in the past. The database opens up to the switchboard, and she clicks through to the "look up by facility name" form, and opens it up. So far so good. She is able to click on and view every single thing on this pretty complicated form, including opening a variety of secondary forms. However, whenever she clicks on the...

Hi, Ive got 3 forms, (a subform within a subform within a form) and when I refresh the outermost form, Access closes and offers to send an error report. The forms worked fine a few weeks ago, but now they cause this error in Access 2002 (Access 2000 is fine) Each of the sub forms use values from their parent forms to produce results.

Hi, I am having a freezing issue with my application. My application serves several remotable objects, all of which must be initialized before their use. Furthermore, some of them depend on each other. On my application startup, I configure the objects usting the RemotingConfiguration class to load the config file. Then I "ping" each of the objects to call their constructors. This all works fine if no one is attempting to connect at the...

Hello, I wrote a database applicaiton using Access XP (2002) and everything has been working good for the client until they purchased a couple of new computers with Access 2003. The meetings form has an unbound combo box listing all the meetings in the database allowing the user to navigate between meeting records. The meetings form also has a list box that displays a list of members associated with a meeting.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
