VB5 form looses focus

[chilidogie]

I have a VB5 project completed. When it is running, it updates the file line count, number found, etc. If I switch to another window (email/explorer...) while it is running, it freezes the display until the process is complete. Can I somehow reset the focus so that the display continues to update, even if I switch to another window ?

Thank you !!

Actually...hunt and peck...I found my own answer. After each significant data change, I just put a form.refresh.

I made it only significant events so I don't get the screen chatter if it is after each line feed.

Cheers !
