I have a form that basically has just a label on it saying "Processing your request" that I want to pop up while (novel idea) it's processing a request. Before the request I show the form using "form.show vbmodal"

and when the processing is done on my main form I run: "form.hide"

But this doesn't hide the form. Am I missing something?

The only workaround I can think of is a bit kludgy. Making a global variable like FormShouldBeOpen as integer and running a timer on the popup to check and see if it should hide.

thoughts?
