>>>>>Hi! I've been developing many VFP applications over the years and all of them use WAIT WINDOW...NOWAIT to show the user that some process is going on, until one of my clients told me that little dull windows is not seen by their users and they think the app is frozen so they call support to help them, they finally tell the users that they have to wait until that little dull windows disappears.

I tried to create one of my own but I guess it is a lot of work trying to figure out the width and height of the window, so I ask you where can I get one fancier WIT WINDOWS replacement. If it could use a progress bar that would be terrific!

That's a very good replacement for MESSAGEBOX() but I don't think its modeless. What I mean is that it should be shown on screen while some process is going on, when that process is finished it should disappear from the screen.

Thanks anyway, for the MESSAGEBOX() replacement idea.
