Counter Message

[Martin]

Hopefully, this is the right group to post this to.

I would like to set up a message to the user providing a status of an
update. Something like "Processing Record x Of y" with the x changing as
each record is completed.

I thought I could use MsgBox, but it appears that there always needs to be
user input to click a button. I simply want to display the message with no
user intervention.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Martin,

You can use a Label control on a form, and change its Caption property
record by record. If you are using a macro to do this, you would use a
SetValue action. You may also need a RepaintObject action to update the
screen display after the caption is adjusted.
