Looks like this was made for VB, not for vbScript. I get a syntax error on the 'LockWindowUpdate()' declaration on the vbScript side. Anyone done this in vbScript? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have tried out the above mentioned code but it does not seem to be working in case of a dtppicker control. It flickers no matter what ? any one has any idea as to why it happens ?
I thought that if the form is locked that should be sufficient enough, but i guess it is not !!!
