Hi Pat.

>Definitely Doug! I know it can increase the indexing time but indexing a 2 million records table is a process that takes already a long time and because I don't show the progression, the user presses the button a second time anyway!

So, SET TALK ON and let VFP display the progress as record counts. Even that slows down the reindex process, but not nearly as much as a progress bar would (I bet you can expect an order of magnitude increase in time using a progress bar!).
