Thanks Shawn.. I guess I just was confused.. I was using
code:
 $lblCurProcess		= $fradetails.Label("Calling RAND to calculate routes...") 

To change the text...

I will use the correct method now.. ; )

Any ideas about the screen going white like that while the other process is running? I can switch between other apps and no problems... I would say that I could set a property of the form but since I am using shell and need to because I need to wait for the program to complete before moving on.. I can do that.

Anyways thanks so much.
