Hi 030 students, For the program that is due on Friday that prints the patterns such as: P P A P A N P A N T P A N T H P A N T H E P A N T H E R P A N T H E R S you need to set the Form's AutoRedraw property to TRUE. By default, it is FALSE. ---- You can set the AutoRedraw property for the Form object to True at Design time, or using the Form_Load() event, you could do it at Run time, as follows: Private Sub Form_Load() Form1.AutoRedraw = True End Sub Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" Alias "Sleep" _ (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long) Note the word PRIVATE begins the Sleep API function. It it says PUBLIC it will NOT work! Mark
