If I may. I have a routine that processes a database in a cmdbutton click and thruout the routine I have :
thisform.mylabels2.caption='30'
thisform.refresh
'more processing
thisform.mylabels2.caption='40'
thisform.refresh
'more processing
thisform.mylabels2.caption='50'
thisform.refresh
this is just to show the user progress of the routine but the label never seems to get refreshed.
