Hi,

I'm having a problem with 'updating' a textbox message.

When i go through the code below in DEBUG mode, everything works as
should be.
The label 'lblMessage' shows the text as wanted, but when i swith to
RUN TIME mode, this label does'n show the text. The meaning of this
text is to inform the user that a folder is being removed (deleted)
and then replaced with an updated folder. Personally, i think that the
problem lies in the use of the File Scripting code. Is this a known
problem, and if so, is there a work around to prevent this problem?
I'm working on Win98 SE, Excel 2000 SR1

Thanks in advance,
Ludo Soete

Ludo,

I haven't tried running this, but it may be as simple as placing a DoEvents
statement after any code updating the caption.
