Form loses focus (I think)

[Rob Savage]

I am using vb to call a succession of Kix scripts, updating a progress
bar on screen while doing so.

My problem is that the form loads, displays the progress bar, but then
blanks out while all the shell commands process.

Is this a focus issue, and how do I get the form and its progress bar
to remain displayed and updated by the code while the shell commands
go through?

Cheers

Rob

Are you using Windows XP? Check your application on a machine running
Windows 2000. If the problem doesn't occur there, then it's caused by
newly introduced behavior of Windows XP to mark applications as "not
responding" after a certain time.

Just tel the thing it has the focus. like obejct.presentation.setFocus before
you write end sub.
userform1.textbox1.setFocus means the first textbox on the userform gets it.
