   Thank you Randy, the .Refresh worked beautifully because I have an   
   introduced delay on my loop. It does flicker but it is barely   
   noticeable. The screen updates about every 1/2 second so It looks fine.   
   Later on today with more time I will change all the code to the better   
   method.   
      
   Once again, thanks!
