>There's only one piece of code in there that is not compatible with VFP 8 - it's an ICASE statement that you can just change to a regular Do Case statement. In any event, on the example the solid progressbar shows the percentage on top of the progress bar. Progressbarex is pure VFP, no ActiveX dependencies.

Thanks - I will download it - I finally got a transparent form to "cover" it. It would be neat if the "caption covering a progress bar could go "negative" wehen the bar moves on it - thats next weeks "sport" experiment.
