 Screen Problems when doing a command line import.

hi!

here is what i am doing...  i am
importing a file by opening the a
text file, reading a line of data
in at a time, splitting it up and
using DAO to store it into a MDB.
however, when the process starts
the screen gets "stuck".  if i go
check my email and click back on
my access program, it doesn't
refresh... a matter of fact, it
won't pop up until the process
finishes...

any ideas?

thanks,
andrew

That's because it's thinking *that* hard.  =)

If it seems to be a problem, and you *want* the screen to update, try
using the DoEvents statement in the loop.  Check it out in the help
files as well.
