>>>Can anyone give me the final trick to show the progression of an INDEX command WITHOUT getting the function name of the Progression routine written to the index file.

>>While Mark and Kenneth answered your question directly, I have this comment: are you sure you want to do this? You can expect a tremendous increase in the time it'll take to create the index if you display a progress meter.

>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!

Once the user clicks the button to start indexing, disable the button before the indexing starts.
