Problem making controls visible

I would like to make a couple of controls visible just before I launch into
some lengthy processing. They are a label and a text box that show the
progress of the processing. My problem is that the txtUpdate.Visible = True
doesn't take effect until control is returned to the form.... i.e., after
the lengthy processing is complete.... too late. The .visible = true
command and the processing take place in the clicked event of a button.

Is there a technique I can use to get around this? Some sort of secret
invisible method for returning control to the form and then back to my
processing?
 
Look in VBA Help for DoEvents. That should be what you need. It returns
control to the system so that waiting events can be processed.
