DG, I prefer to do statusbar messages that continually change. If you have
loops, that is easy.

application.statusbar ="some text"
applicaton.statusbar = false 'clears the statusbar when done

I want to have a form popup that says "Please Wait.." while the program
continues to run. I changed the ShowModal to False and the form shows but
the "Please Wait.." text does not. The caption in the title bar does show
however.

Is there a way to make this work or is the a betterway to display a wait
message so the user doesn't start hitting keys etc...
