>I have a multi tabbed pageframe and when I kick off a process to grab say 30K rows of data via ADO I would like to switch to page4 of my pageframe which contains the animated GIF. No problem in setting the focus to page4, only issue is that my annimated GIF does not move - instead it appears as a fixed image - not what I had in mind. Of course the animated image shows like it is moving AFTER the process completes, but the idea is to show that as the process is running.

Do you have DoEVENTS in place?
