I have a Welcome form (menu) and I would like to update and backup my files
when it opens (only every 2 weeks). I have written the code and everything
updates fine but since I only do the update twice a month, sometimes the form
opens quickly and sometimes it takes about 10 seconds. So I would like to
incdicate to the user that it is happening and it's not just the computer
bogging down. I do the update in the load event of the Welcome form and I
tried to open a form at the beginning of that with a nice flashing message
form. When I run it, the message form opens but all I see is the frame or
border of it. I also tried putting a flashing label on the welcome form
itself which would become invisible when done, but the form won't appear
until the load event is done. Can you help me with how this type of thing
is normally done.?. Any articles on it? Am I doing the update in the 'right'
place?? Thanx
