I have a number of routines which are invoked when a user clicks a button. The problem is the routines take quite a while to run and therefore I would like to display a message to the user of what is happening. Rather than use a Wait window are there any other techniques I could use?

I have seen a form with a list box or something and everytime somethings happens it writes a record to a cursor which is displayed in a list box on the form.

"Now printing report for style T675"      29/12/04 15:34:00
"Now attaching report for style T567"     29/12/04 15:35:00

Is this easy to do I cant remeber where I have seen this? Any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks
