status indicator on screen
how do I display a text (?) box on the screen which can show different
captions while code continues to run in the background ex; the box might have the following sequence of captions "determining number of records", "retrieving records", "updating report", "reformatting to new settings"...

Mark, one way is to put it in the status bar at the bottom, like this
Application.StatusBar = "determining number of records" don't forget to set it to Application.StatusBar = "" at the end. -- Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it Feedback on answers is always appreciated!
