I've been cleaning up my VBA code in my project and all seems to be going well, except for some screen repainting issues. I've probably borked the timing of everything with my changes. One first question, does setting Application.Echo True trigger a repaint?
 
I would think not. It just writes the text.
 
The Microsoft documentation isn't clear. It toggles the method but it doesn't say if anything else happens when the method is toggled to true.
I fixed my issues anyway. Turns out it was something else entirely. It all seems sorted now. Thanks!
 
My understanding is that the App Echo being toggled to TRUE merely enables the .Repaint for the next action that WOULD do something to repaint the screen.

It is not supposed to. All documentation is that way. All the documentation I have ever seen only describes the method or action or property or command that is in question and tells you all incidentals surrounding it as well but it never bleeds over into other actions are commands fully. You have to look those up separate if you're curious about interactions between two commands or methods or something like that. Which of course makes it impossible...
