PRA: Query Progress Meter Reports Status Incorrectly
'Article ID: Q98787

Creation Date: 13-MAY-1993

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1

SYMPTOMS

When running an append query that appends a large number of records to an existing table, the progress meter may incorrectly reflect the status of the query. The progress meter may increase quickly to 98 percent complete and then continue slowly until reaching 100 percent.

CAUSE

The progress meter does not take into account the time for the sorting phase. If the sorting phase takes a long time, the progress meter does not correctly reflect the progress of the query.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1. This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 2.0.
