title: How do I create a status dialog box in Excel
body: <p>I have created a database report generator in Excel. I am trying to create a dialog box that displays status information as the program runs.</p>
  
  <p>When I generate the report, although the dialog box appears, I cannot refresh/update the information it displays. Most of the time, the dialog box only partially appears. I have tried using the .repaint method, but I still get the same results. I only see the complete dialog box, after the report is generated.</p>
