Status

[Guest_imported]

I need a pop up window to inform the user what record is being processed of however many records are to be processed. I need something that won't effect the other block which is saving its data to the database, does not have a button, and will not stop background processing.<br><br>I am using Dev 6, and the only way I've thought of to do this, is using MESSAGE, but that won't update the status bar when I use the NO_ACKNOWLEDGE property. When I don't use it, tho, it pops up a window and pauses background processing. Is there any way to accomplish what I'm looking to do?<br><br>Thanks in advance.

why not try using a non-based table and have it store temporarily the number of current record that is being processed. all you need to do is create a variable (that will serve as counter) as number. you now have to populate and update the current transaction count that is being processed.

example

when-button-pressed
declare
ctr number = 0;
begin
ctr = ctr+1
update_record; -- where this is your procedure that process
-- the current record;
:ctrl.ctr := ctr;
end;

There is also an existing demo program that oracle provides called progressbar.fmb. Look for it in you installation of forms 6i
