 Text box does not update it's display until program is over.

Hello,

Not knowing how the question would otherwise be stated, I went ahead
and posted this question without thoroughly searching all the subject
headers in this group.

I have two questions:

First, how do I make a text box, which will display a series of
numbers, to update for each new number placed in it, and not just at
the end of the string of numbers to be displayed. In other words, I
have 200 numbers to be displayed, but only the last one displays at
the end of the program. I'd like for each of the 200 numbers to
appear in the text box when it is issued my:

text1.Text = variable  command.

Is there a way to make this happen ?  

2nd question: Is there a good book on VB 5 ?   I've decided I don't
like QUE or the original Microsoft books. What else is out there
besides VB5 for Dummies ?  The book I'm looking for must have
tons of examples. Not just go into one theory of VB5 and drag it out
for an entire chapter. I want a book that states what the program will
do, and then go into each step of it, with complete and accurate
examples.

Thanks,

A very slow reader who doesn't like today's writing styles.

Thank you, it works beautifully.
That's the sort of thing I'd like to find in the books I buy.
