Multipage wizard timing

I'm using a Multipage control to show the user several different Userform pages. During the gathering of data I periodically save the file and do some interim results calculations. This takes a while and users are impatient, therefore I decided to devote a Multipage page to simply a message label (Informational page)telling the user the program was backing up.

Seemed to be a simple solution. However the Information Page doesn't display prior to the spreadsheet running off and doing the results.

              isave = MultiPage1.Value
                        MultiPage1.Value = 5             'Information Page           
                            ActiveWorkbook.Save
                            Run_scoring         'Scores results to-date, does not do ESC unless all scores are in
                           
                            Create_PDF          ' Creates PDF of appropriate sheets

                        MultiPage1.Value = isave

In actuality the Information Page doesn't display until after the Run_scoring sub has run.
