Ms Access-2003 progress bar
Hi,
I have a ms access database with the linked table from different database, the main database with all the tables are in remote computer and we connect to this database using VPN connection.
Now on the local pc the database opens the form with the list control query the data from linked tables, which takes some time to open, Their are not many records to display. I want to make the progress bar showing that its working and not hung.
I have made the progress bar while reading the data from the table and its works good, but its does not appear while opening the database.
any suggestion

Hi ippinto
This is when its start reading data from the query, I have this done nicely, What i am looking for is to bring the progress bar while my link tables are getting refreshed from remote table.
What happens is when I open the database it takes a while to bring the form up. once the form is open and active then this progress bar work good

1. Take frmProgBarContinuous from the sample and place it in your DB.
2. Create a startup form and call this either from the Autoexec macro or by specifying it as the startup from for the DB.
3. In that forms OnOpen event, place the following code (which is from frmProgBarContinuousDemo)
Dim pb As New Form_frmProgBarContinuous
pb.SetMessage "Setting up application..."
pb.SetCaption "Performing startup tasks"
pb.SetBarUpdateFrequency 0.1
pb.SetBarVisible True
pb.Startbar
' At this point, link your tables, open menu, etc. What ever you need to get your app going
pb.Stopbar
pb.SetBarPercent 100
pb.SetMessage "Done!"
Set pb = Nothing
Cancel = True

Can you setup a small sample DB with what you have done and upload it? I do not understand why it is not working.
frmProgBarContinuous contains a timer, which is what updates the bar. It should run regardless of what is going on in other forms.

HI
I had the list control with the query in rowsource, I have remove the query from here and now form opens instantly
I have added new commend button called "Get Data" which will run the query and fill the data on list control
Dim squery As String
squery = "SELECT CheckInvoices.Account_No, CheckInvoices.Company_Name
Dim pb As New Form_frmProgBarContinuous
pb.SetMessage "Message with bar and caption, which will repeat..."
pb.SetCaption "Physical inventory roll"
pb.SetBarUpdateFrequency 0.1
pb.SetBarVisible True
pb.Startbar
List4.RowSource = squery
pb.Stopbar
pb.SetBarPercent 100
pb.SetMessage "Done!"
Set pb = Nothing
end sub
still i have see the progress bar form but no progress going thru
in the above example CheckInvoices is the query name in access database.
all the tables are linked table from the remote computer connected using VPN
see if this information helps you to diagnose my issue
Thank you

Wee you got me. I have known access to suspend execution in some cases, so that is probably what is happening.
Is the list box your only problem? If so, you can fill it programatically with a call back function and thus retain control. Then you'd be able to put up a regular progress bar while you fill up the list.

Thank you guys
I guess their is no work round for this connection issue. I have tried this several ways but did not success. Access application is not responding when I open the query from query editor or from VBA code using DAO or ADODB connection,
