Disappearing forms -

23 New Member
I have a form that opens when an Access 2003 database starts up. In the VBA for the form, I have a complex function that is copying files from various folders and updating several tables. But the form either disappears as its processing or never completely loads - so it looks like nothing is happening to the end-user.

I've tried using
Me.Repaint
Me.Refresh

And neither of those is making the form visible during the VBA processing. Can anyone help me here?

Try: Forms!MyFormName.visible = true
