    How to maintain screen painting when application loses the focus.

    Does anyone know how to accomplish this? I have many processes that constantly update the screen. Sometimes it's custom progress bars, sometimes it's data, it doesn't really matter.

    My problem is this:

    If the user switches the focus of their PC to another application while the access process is running, the screen painting stops. To the user, it seems as if the code has frozen, but it hasn't.

    Is there anyway to keep the screen painting regardless of what application has the current focus?

    No takers? I'm open to ideas outside of vba. If someone has some basic direction on why this occurs, I can work with that.

      Still no one? C'mon I know some of you guys have to have come across something somewhere.

      I'll beg if I have to. I'm not above that.

      I just need a little nudge in the right direction...
