Customised Status Bar

[ChrisPanet]

Hi all, i am wanting to create a custom status bar on a form just to show the user that something is happening when they run/open query that takes a bit of time to open.

Has anyone ever done anything like this before? I know you can make the bottom status bar show that is standard in access but i wanted to create my own on a form?

Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Why not just create a Label that sits at the bottom of your form and move/resize it when the form is resized, so it always stays at the bottom?

I dont think i made myself very clear, what i am wanting to achieve is a 'bar' that shows the progress of an action when being performed like the one you get when you install something onto your pc
