I need to create a message box or a form or something to flash on the screen to tell the user that a piece of "Update" code is running.

the update code will be updated reports from marketing returns, but the 3 branches who use the information are separate so I am creating an update form to download and update the table.

The code for the update is already working, but can take a while, so I thought a message or splash screen would be useful as the update runs on start up.

It would have another use, I have a report which is made mainly of calculated fields on an onPrint event and also takes a while to work it out, so a similar screen would be more useful than my current spinning circle and blank screen.

So, start the DB with a form that show the message.
Run the update from within this form.
Close the form when the update is finished.
