Show form 1

[warren2600]

I'm having a small problem showing a form while a function is being run.
The form starts to show...i can see the titlebar, but the actual form is just transparent.

here is a sample of my code.

Me.Hide
frmload.Show 'the form is transparent and labels don't show
Call load_details 'this runs a stored proc in sQL server

any suggestions would be appreciated
thanks,
warren

frmload.Show
DoEvents
Call load_details

Whilst DoEvents does what you're looking for, be mindful of the fact that it means any queued user events will be executed as well - think of any possible impact that has as a result of modifying the flow of your code.
