Hi Mike,

Thanks for jumping in. I am familiar with your class to show the SQL progress bar while doing all the leg work of saving and restoring other "SET"ings. Nice job.

I was almost certain that the answer would be that it not something as straight forward as using a SET command. I was toying with using the AVI playing class from VFP and will continue to do so to see if it will fit the situation.

Thanks again.
Vince
