DoEvents

[QWERTY]

What does DoEvents do? I read everything in VB help but I still don't get its function.

You will hear a lot about it.

When your program is very busy (like executing a quick loop), some events (like painting a screen, or the recognition of the fact that the user has clicked a command button) may not get a chance to happen. DoEvents "pauses" the current action to allow these other things to happen.

Also, DoEvents returns the number of all open VB Forms. Not very useful...
