Thanks Rabbit and ZMBD, Please Tell me about progress bar
I solved my last issues Thanks. I started again I think I was trying too much and got too bogged down, so started again and kept it tidy and clean.
I would like to know about a progress bar. I have a parameter form with a button that you click and opens a report but the report takes a while to do all the calculations as there is a lot. You can see the report while it is doing this. I would like to put something on the screen to show progress or that the system is doing something.
I dont want to just change the mouse pointer to an egg timer but would like a bar thing. I tried an ActiveX control but it did not show up on the report only in design view. I am not sure where to put it in the form under the button or on the report. I dont know weather the ActiveX one is best or VBA code(I try and find the code on line and copy and paste it). I am not sure if I make my own box and code that or put it in the report load event.
I like the idea and would like to learn/use it. I am not that good with VBA but do give things a try. Can someone tell me about the progrss bar(Access 2007).
