docmd.echo

[jlgray0127]

I'm sure this is an easy one! I have been looking for about 40 minutes trying to find a quick answer to this.


I have a module to refresh all my forms when I click a button.

The code for the button is below:

Private Sub Command217_Click()
Me.Refresh
Call RefreshForms
End Sub

I'm would like to use echo when it starts so all the flickering is not going on with my form, and a message box saying the "Calculating" to display,
then to repaint the form when done, which is to stop the echo command.

I think if I could understand what was happening exactly with the echo and how it calls the message box, I could have figured it out, but for some reason, I can not get this fairly simple task to click in my head.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Never used Echo so I Googled. Looks like a good discussion at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/For...5-e40df9a16efc

I don't think there is a 'message box' - review http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr.../ff193863.aspx
