Default Looping Code 2

below is code that takes detials from a spreadsheet and unloads and reloads and continues like that. my only problem is after a while the text stops scrolling and the application seems to stop but with no errors I am convinced there may be a problem with the loop. Help !

Code:
Function Marquees()

        Sheets("Sales Info").Select

        Dim StartTimer As Single, timeWait As Single
        Dim i As Integer
        Dim Marquee As String
        timeWait = 0.08

        Do
           'Marquee without trailing spaces
           Marquee = Range("b46")
           Me.txtMarquee.TextAlign = fmTextAlignLeft
           For i = Len(Marquee) To 1 Step -1
              Me.txtMarquee.Text = Right(Marquee, i)
              StartTimer = Timer
              Do While Timer < StartTimer + timeWait
                 DoEvents
              Loop
           Next 'i
           'No time-delay here for immediate flow from the right
           Me.txtMarquee.Text = ""

           Me.txtMarquee.TextAlign = fmTextAlignRight
           For i = 1 To Len(Marquee) - 1
              Me.txtMarquee.Text = Mid(Marquee, 1, i)
              StartTimer = Timer
              Do While Timer < StartTimer + timeWait
                 DoEvents
              Loop
           Next 'i
           'No time-delay after the full string, for smooth re-flow
           Me.txtMarquee.Text = Mid(Marquee, 1, i)

           Call Displays

        Loop

End Function

Function Displays()

        lblDate.Caption = Date
        lblDate.Caption = Format(lblDate, "Long Date")
        'production

        Sheets("Production").Select

        lblProduction.Caption = Range("a11")
        lblProduction.Caption = Format(expression:=lblProduction.Caption, Format:="00,000")

        lblProductionTarget.Caption = Range("b11")
        lblProductionTarget.Caption = Format(expression:=lblProductionTarget.Caption, Format:="00,000")

        lblPacked.Caption = Range("c11")
        lblPacked.Caption = Format(expression:=lblPacked.Caption, Format:="00,000")

        'sales

        Sheets("Sales Info").Select


        lblSales.Caption = Range("a41")
        lblSales.Caption = Format(expression:=lblSales.Caption, Format:="00,000")

        lblSalesTarget.Caption = Range("b41")
        lblSalesTarget.Caption = Format(expression:=lblSalesTarget.Caption, Format:="00,000")

        Label15.Caption = Range("c41")
        Label15.Caption = Format(expression:=Label15.Caption, Format:="00,000")

        'complaints

        Sheets("Complaints Info").Select

        lblComplaints.Caption = Range("a18")
        lblComplaintsTarget.Caption = Range("b18")
        Label16.Caption = Range("c18")

        Call Marquees

End Function


Private Sub UserForm_Activate()

Call Displays

End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub
