>Hi, thank for all your kind help and interests. Actually, I managed to get it to work finally, however, the progress indicator don't seem to display any thing at all until the compression is completed. I am using vfp 5.0a on a Pentium II 333Mhz PC. Any help or suggestion is very much appreciated. Thank you.

DynaZip libraries determine when a progressbar update should occur. If the files you are compressing are small it may not update the progress until after if completes.
