Try this: create a new standard exe project, and delete the form. create a module with the following code in it:
Code:
Sub Main()
' do your stuff here (one time only)
' for example:
Msgbox "Hello"
End Sub
Compile the EXE and make sure it goes with your app.
Now, in the app you want to do the fast messages:
Code:
For I = 1 To 2000 'or whatever
Shell "DoMsgBox.EXE" 'put the name of the msg exe here
Next I
Using variations on this idea you should be able to do what you're after.
P.S. I love Netbuster. Heheh.
