Why don't you send us your code. It sounds to me like you are not
putting a
loop that keeps checking.

Hi,
for the problem below: I tried making an invisible frame with a
>>label
and a
button which ends the program. As a new task starts, I made the
>>frame
visible and named the task in hand, as caption of the label.
But when the program is running, the screen does not become
>updated.
Is there a way to cause the screen to be refreshed while a module
>is
still
running? Thanks
Ayse
Hi,
1- What is the way to inform the user of the task in proress,
>as
the
program runs?
My VB program performs a number of tasks, each of which takes
>>some
time. I would like to display a message stating the task in
>hand.
I
was
hoping VB would have a messagebox for this, but all seem to
require
a
response.
2- Giving the user also an option to end the program would be
>>even
better.
I have often used programs which displays a message of progress
and
gives you the option to end (though most dont work)
Thanks for any sudgestions
Ayse
