RichEdit Question

[billhsln]

I am loading a RichEdit with stuff I pull from an ODBC connection from an offsite machine using SQL.  My question is is it possible to force the RichEdit to display ever once in a while.  What happens is it shows a page or so of info and then just stops and may not display anything for up to 2 or 3 minutes.  I just would like it to pop up some info every once in a while, so I know that it has not locked up or lost the ODBC connection.

Thanks,
Bill
