Access - How to avoid "Not Responding"?

I've got some CPU intensive VBA code that works just fine.

However, I get the application "not responding" message in my task manager while it executes. When this happens (after a few seconds of running), my form also stops displaying its progress indicators (records processed, etc).

If I leave the application alone, it eventually completes on schedule.

However, this "not responding" message just isn't acceptable for software I eventually intend to sell.

I'm using Access 2003 on XP Pro.

Ideas?
