Kevin,

Did you try DOEVENTS?

However there are certain locations that I HAVE to have the image display at. If I put a wait window in the code where the locations are the image needs to display, it works so I know the code is correct. But I can't seem to force a display of the image when I need to. Interestingly if I do a WAIT WINDOW TIMEOUT .001 at the given locations the image always displays (but I also get an unwanted flash of the wait window.)
