The Message Box is modal; that is, it requires a response from the user before program execution continues. What Scott White is looking for is a modeless dialog: One which will appear, permit execution to continue, and be closed programmatically when the waited-for event occurs (or the user closes it manually). sorry!

I want to show the user a message on their screen during different steps in the script. I've received call after call when the script was doing nothing more than waiting 30 seconds or for the next prompt to pop up after processing MEDITECH records. The user thought the script was hung and then cancelled it. SEVERAL times. I'd like to pop a window ontop of EVERYTHING that says: "Waiting 35 seconds for record processing." Later, I have another scenario where I have it wait for a MEDITECH error check: "Waiting for results of error check... this could take up to 1 minute" Then I'd like these messages to disappear after then next event or a certain time. Any ideas? Thanks, Scott **************************************************************************** *********** CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail communication and any attachmentsmay contain confidential and privileged information for the use of the designated recipients named above.
