Access Background Worker?

[chalupabatman]

Does MS Access 2016 have a Background Worker that can be implemented to keep the UI from freezing and allowing you to write to a label to update the user on the steps taking place?



Can someone link to a good tut on how to do this?

Do you mean like a progress bar?

A way to keep the UI from freezing when running VBA

I may be wrong but I believe Access is single threaded so it cant do more than 1 thing at a time.
If you want to alert a user that the program has not frozen while a procedure is running you can employ a few methods to do so, one being a progress bar.

Makes sense, I have gotten spoiled working with winforms and .NET using background workers, I just assumed that VBA would be able to do the same thing.
