>After making a progressbar, one line of code at a time (like in FP2.6) I now have another strange problem. The progressbar responds with each file copied(dbf,cdx,fpt,dbc,etc...etc)but it ends and closes before the actual copying is finished - which is contrary to the purpose of having a progressbar there in the first place. Is there code that will return something when the e:\drive become inactive? The form should not clear the screen until all the actual copying is finished.

Kind of tough to do, especially if this is NT. NT will flush it's buffers to the device when it's darn good and ready, and not before! :) Your app, as far as it can tell, has finished the write. There's no way for it to tell the OS has actually done it or not.
