Form won't update!
I have an form that works fine, after I click the OK button, it saves the
file. However this takes a while so I wanted to display a message 'Saving File' I started by adding a lable, with the text, and setting it's visible property yo false, and then when the buttonis clicked set it to true. I have tried various ideas on this theme and to no avail. the only way I can get such updates to work is by adding a call to display a msgbox, in the next line of code. How do I get around this? Displaying the msgbox, requires user intervention, although I am sure I could use a timer to get rid of it. But either way it seems wrong! Graham |

show the message in the status bar. Application.Statusbar = "type your text here" Enter your code to save the file Application.Statusbar = Nothing There is also a way you can change the mouse icon to an egg timer while you are doing it, but I can't get access to my code at the moment and need to leave work to catch my train. If anyone else can help you with this it would be worthwhile. -- BerbatovIsGod "Graham Y" wrote: I have an form that works fine, after I click the OK button, it saves the file.

Excel puts the message in the sataus bar but as the form is still on the
screen it is not very noticeable, butI like the idea of changing the mouse. I'm off for a week's hols, so I'll try the mouse idea when I'm back.

Sometimes, you can repaint the form after you show the control.
sub Commandbutton1_click() me.label222.visible = true me.repaint end sub Sometimes, it helps if you add a "doevents" to the code: sub Commandbutton1_click() me.label222.visible = true doevents me.repaint end sub Graham Y wrote: I have an form that works fine, after I click the OK button, it saves the file.
