Hi again,
im sorry, but i have yet encountered another problem.

Basically I made a form when upon loading calls a set of sub-routines to update the DB, each routine is a task that is reflected and displayed as a label on the splash form and when that procedure finishes, that label will change to bold to indicate that it has completed and moves onto next task.
so far so good, but the thing is i cant see that change (label changing to bold) until it all finishes and the main screen re-appears.

what i have found out is that i put a msgbox at the end of every procedure as a test to indicate they finished, and when it appears u can see the label in bold, when i take these out, u cant see the weight change of the label.

can anyone suggest why this is or a way to get round this?
I have tried .Refresh and giving the form .Setfocus but nothing.

Thank you, any help is very much appreciated.

Kind regards

Derek

Hi there,

I have found the solution to my problem:
created a sub with timer to delay program and refreshed it there.
works fine now. thanks and sorry for the post.
