Loading screen

Hallo,
i want to show a splah screen in my app while a huge database query is done. I have insertet a progressbar on this form.
If I show it non modal in a MDI Form and not as child it works,
but if I do ist like

Private Sub Form_Load()
frmWait.show
Me.Hide
getdata 'Sub for recieving Data and filling a FlexGrid
Form_Resize 'Sub for resizing
frmWait.Hide
Me.Show
End Sub

I only see the progressbar without any values. Does anybody know a solution?

Put a DoEvents after your Me.Hide line.
Also, be aware that you'll need to update the progressbar from within your getdata sub. It doesn't change on its own.

WOW, thats it. thanks for the quick reply
