Displaying labels in a pop-up modeless form

I'm sure this is something stupid, but my brain isn't working today. I have
a pop-up form that I want to display while some background processes are
occurring. The form has a couple of label fields that I fill in at run time.
Here is the code I am using:

set frm = New frmWait
frm.lblAppName.Caption = appname
frm.lblOldVersion.Caption = version
frm.lblNewVersion.Caption = refver
frm.Show
.. do processing here ...
Unload frm

The problem is, when frm is displayed all I see is the form border; the
window area is empty. I've tried all the different border styles and nothing
made a diference. The only way I have found to display the label fields is
to display the form as modal:

frm.Show vbModal

But this defeats my purpose; the user has to close the modal form before
processing continues. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Carl Rapson

Thanks, Ken. I knew it was something simple I was overlooking.
