Hi
I have a pretty large DB that I know want to add functinality to.
So I have an AutoExec Macro that on open; Performs a back up (Creates a daily copy of the Back-End), Archives records that are 3 years old (based on the date they were logged moves to another file) and Discards records that are 7 years old from the archive.
It is begining to take a couple of seconds. This doesnt bother me in the slightest but I would like to show the end-users that the DB is doing something for them so be patient...
After some research, I have found that there is a prebuilt progress bar. I would like to use this on a form that will open and give the user details as to what is happening and a welcome screen.
How?
