Re: Form - with Progress Bar

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The problem here is not writing some code that can display, and increment of
progress bar step by step as you propose. what you have to work fine, and
will produce a progress bar on the screen (actually, you'll likely need a
doevents command in the loop also update the display).

to probably going to have is you can run is looping code to increment the
progress bar when you launch the report you can go


a)

code to loop -> increment progess bar
launch rerpot (docmd.Openreprot)

or

b)

launch rerpot (docmd.Openreprot)
code to loop-> increment progess bar

bowl for the above approaches are useless to you, in the case of a), you'll
simply see the progress bar increment and complete, and **then** you you
will star waiting for the report.

In the case of b, you'll simply be waiting until the report loads and
finishes, and *then* you'll see your progress bar start.

perhaps I misunderstood your original question, and if you're doing some
kind of record set or data processing looped to build and create the data
for the report, then you can most certainly display that progress bar.
However, you don't have any ability to make the progress bar run while the
report is rendering.

So if you have like say a fifteen to 20 second delay (or more) before the
report loads where you have to process a bunch of data, and THEN launch the
reprot..then, yes, using a progress bar is a great idea....
