Rahna,
I understand. But because you cannot know the number of occurrences of the word "murder" I'm suggesting you use another method of indexing progress.
If your program can increment a counter based on the number (in order of search progress) of the document currently being searched use that as your measure of progress. Then using the known quantity (number of documents in the search criteria) you'll show the user an...

The tip on setting the default propoerty of the command button worked great.
However, I still can't seem to get the Text box in which I'm asking for user input to present a select all condition.
I'm asking the user to enter the time stamped on a ticket. Currently in the "text" property of the text box I've provided 00:00 and thinking it would help I selected "data format" Time (17:55 for example). ...Leave a comment:

I often use "net send username" within OS Batch files to send a brief alert in a popup box to a particular user. I believe you could send to a particular workstation too.

Just a thought!...Leave a comment:

Highlighting a text box for data entry..
Hi folks,
In learning VB I've designed a little program which requires user input of time hh:mm. The field is selected when the form opens (due to tab order) but the cursor bar is to the left of the default entry (00:00). How can I present the text box in such a way as to allow immediate input by the user? Currently they must grab their mouse and double click inside the (already active) box in order to fully select the contents...
