Topic:
Visual Basic Programming;;Microsoft Access Database
Hi. I have a form that when pressing a button it uploads a PDF to an online dedicated server.
As you can imagine this can take anything form 5 seconds to several mins.
The problem is people often think its not working so they continualy press the button whivh crashes the database.
I need to create a progress bar on the form so it shows them action is happening. the ones i have found simulate a progress and are a set movment over a set time. this is a problem as my action can vary so greatly.
Is there VBA that will ACTUALLY show progress
OR..........
is it possible to create a message box that comes up soon as you press the button that says. "PLEASE WAIT WHILE THIS DOCUMENT IS UPLOADED.... THIS CAN TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES.....
then soon as the proccess finishes that popup box or form closes.......
