 Progress Box

Hi, I have a module that creates some recordsets and
creates an excel sheet based on the values (using early
binding).  The whole process takes about 60 - 90 seconds
to run, but the user does not know it is running since it
is all done in memory.  Is there anyway to have a box that
says something like "Please wait while transfering" that
stays up until the "do you want to overwrite the existed
xls file" box appears.

Thanks,
Andrew

If this is all done in VBA, then yes... You should be able to create your
own popup box and write code like this:

call sDoSomeLengthyProcess

Sub sDoSomeLengthyProcess()

    docmd.OpenForm "frmPleaseWait" ' Don't open it Modal
    ' process until you are about to issue a SaveAs
    docmd.Cloase acForm, "frmPleaseWait"
    objXL.SaveAs ...
End SUb
