Poor man's progress bar

[ravedog]

i have built a splash screen for my DB, that basically has a graphic that simulates a progress bar and a global text field below it that shows progress text.

the script that runs has a series of actions and before each action, i run a sub script that sets the global container field (that shows the progress bar) with the progress bar graphic and also the next text to appear below...

problem is that it only updates the screen every so often even though i have Refresh Screen at the beginning and end of the subscript and even a goto Field (with no field listed) at the end of the script.

You could try puttin a Pause/Resmue for 1 sec step in progress bar script. The only problem is that it willl make everything take way longer.

As well, try uses the Go To Layout step with refresh (not sure if that is what you mean by refreshing).
