Hello Don, >Please remember that not all of us are "select members" of Universal I'm not have this option either ;). >Thread - only paying guests have access to the search feature. It is more >helpful to just say which library an article is in. Actually, I don't know (it was a long time ago) . As you wish, here is an idea: thisform.progressbar.MaxValue = reccount() thisform.progressbar.Value = 0 select , updateprogress(); from table1; blah blah blah into cursor tmp thisform.progressbar.Value = thisform.progressbar.Maxvalue function updateprogress thisform.progressbar.value = _tally return .t. That's all! Hope it helps. P.S. Sorry for late reply, but my ISP gave me a hard time today with their BUSY.
