Status Box I have a form in which I use a Label with a fixed-single BorderStyle as a status msg box. What I need to be able to do for a given event is to change the contents of this label (ForeColor & Caption) and change the mouse pointer to an hourglass. I then want to pause for 2 seconds and then restore the msg box and mouse pointer back to the normal mode. What I am getting with the following code is the mouse pointer changes for the correct interval, however the Label contents are unchanged. Dim fTime As Double fTime# = Now + .00002 Do Form1.Label1.ForeColor = &HFF& Form1.Label1.Caption = "ERROR" Screen.MousePointer = 11 Loop Until (fTime# < Now) Form1.Label1.ForeColor = &HFF00& Form1.Label1.Caption = "ON-LINE" Screen.MousePointer = 0 Any help would be greatly appreciated….Thanks There are 2 Replies.
