2 Coding scripts running at the same time...possible?

Hi All

Is it possible for me to click a button that will run a report and still use other functions on a VB6 form at the same time?....even if it does has a effect on running speed

Hi

To be able to retain some sort of control over the interface after clicking a button, add some 'DoEvents' lines to your code - especially inside any loops that are running. It will slow performance but won't lock your VB6 interface.

HTH, Andrew

P.S. When I originally read this question, I thought you were wanting to take advantage of a multi-threading processor using VB6. If ever you do want to, then this looks like it is worth reading:

I realise it isn't directly related to what you want but thought I would post the link so that it is easier to find in future, given I want to experiment with this, and I am not at my usual PC!
