Hi Sergey,

Same problem. I can display the animated gif but sqlexec() stops all progress until the sp is done. Asynchronous = .t. or .f. makes no difference. I always thought that setting Asynchronous .t. would give control back to vfp as soon as sqlexec() was executed.

>>Thanks for you help Sergey. This doesn't work because my sp does not return a result set. What I am trying to do is display an animated gif while the sp is doing its work but the gif stops animating while the sp is running.
