Adam,

Probably you wish to get the current recn() in the SQL-result cursor. Then it may not work as you expect. Here is an example:

CREATE TABLE c:\y1 (word c(10), rec n(3))
FOR ia=1 TO 10
	INSERT INTO y1 VALUES ("record"+TRANSFORM(ia),ia)
ENDFOR

CREATE TABLE c:\y2 (word c(10), rec n(3))
FOR ia=1 TO 10
	INSERT INTO y2 VALUES ("record"+TRANSFORM(ia), ia)
ENDFOR
FOR ia=1 TO 10
	INSERT INTO y2 VALUES ("record"+TRANSFORM(ia), 10+ia)
ENDFOR

* getting recno in order from 1 to 10
SELECT word,RECNO() from c:\y1 INTO CURSOR tmp1  

* getting recno in order from 1 to 10, and then again from 1 to 10
SELECT y1.word,RECNO() from c:\y1,c:\y2 WHERE y1.word == y2.word INTO CURSOR tmp2

You may find here in the download section several progress bars; probably you will find there what you are looking for.

>Here's the problem I'm having, I've created a class called "progressbar" to use for select statements that take a minute or two to complete in order to display a nicer graphical bar than the default one when SET TALK is ON. When selecting data from just one table it works fine. This is how it works:
>
>pbar = newobject("progressbar")
>pbar.max = reccount('TABLE1')
>pbar.show()
>SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE PBAR.UPDATE(RECNO()) ...
>release pbar
>
>The problem is when I use this statement:
>
>SELECT TABLE1.field, TABLE2.field from TABLE1,TABLE2 ;
>WHERE pbar.update(recno()) AND conditions...
>
>I've tried replacing RECNO() with RECNO('TABLE1') and RECNO('TABLE2')
>Still all that happens is the progress bar pops up, sits there, and then disappears without incrementing with all the records.
