Windows: "not responding"

[Ralph DiMola]

Also, I was able to reduce this by calls to WMPaint or in VB to DoEvents while in a tight loop doing I/O. This brings me back to the never ending question: When is the equivalent to "DoEvents" in LC? "Wait in time with messages" does not always do it.

I don’t think this is an issue exclusive to LC. My main Access DB has code that will do the same thing. Sometimes things come back fine because it was just busy (SharePoint issues do cause it to get totally hung sometimes as well though).

Thanks,
Brian
