Thanks Kenneth,

I'll try your suggestion.

>You then code up the Mabry event (again, can't recall exactly which one after two years) that fires during progress. This event will return a code when the transfer is finished, and you can set your flag MyForm.FlagProperty to true to drop out of the loop.

>Because you are looping through a DoEvents, controls on your form will respond to user input, so you can put a command button on the form for "Cancel" When the user clicks here, ask them a question to make sure they really want to cancel, and then... here I really can't remember, I think you set a property of the Mabry control from within the progress event.
