Displaying a count of records that have been processed

[dgardner]

I am checking records between two tables. If there is no duplicate, the
record is added to the second table. (The master list is controlled by
another organization. The second list can be manipulated at the local
level with entries that are not on the master list.)

This operation takes some time and I want a text box (or label) to
display the message "Processing Record x of n master records."

lngCount counts the records being processed. At the end of each check
and before lngCount is updated, I tried
txtCount.Value = "Processing Record " & intCount
The textbox changes only after ALL of the records have been checked.

I used the timer event to change the textbox, but that doesn't fire
while the code to check the two tables is running.

Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Immediately following your textbox update add a line with the
statement DoEvents
