I use BDS2006, and I hope someone can give me advise. My program is set to having a main form, then using MODAL, I open another form where I process a database. While processing through a database, if I go to say for instance MS Word, and go back to my program that is still processing the database, the program screen won't refresh until the program completes processing the DB.
So if it is a real big DB, the user might think the program has hung, and force a termination through the Task Manager, when it really isn't necessary. I have tried to refresh the form after each record is processed, but that didn't help. Can any your brilliant folks here tell me how to fix this issue? I want to be able to allow the user to go to another program, and come back and they can see things working. On the bottom of the screen, while it is processing, the status bar displays the record number that it is on. Thanks...
