I have a rather lengthy SQL import, does anyone know of a way to keep the user "entertained" while the import goes on? I know FM pops up the import records as the records are being imported, but I am looking for something while the query is taking place on the remote system other then the spinning "rainbow of death"

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I noticed nobody has replied to this...

I have a similar scenario, I combatted this by creating a fake "please wait" which is opened at the start of my process and forcibly closed afterwards.

The dialogue is also forced to the foreground so ends up looking quite impressive, I now use it on all import / export routines. :
