vb.net form not responding

i am writing a data extract program that displays a progress bar and the current record on the screen. It all works fine except when i click on the form or on another application then it goes to 'not responding'.
The app eventually returns performing all its functions corrrectly but i need it to refresh the screen.

i have written similar programs in vb6 and i can click away from the program and then back and i the screen refreshes no problems for me.

any ideas, i need to be able to display to the user the currrent table being extracted, no of records and current record

Perhaps code like this will help...

Label1.Text = SomeDataReturned()

Label1.Update ' This will help make sure the new data displays

The whole form/app is not responding. it is not a problem with an individual control.
