>>That is correct, this works under development license but gives an error under runtime only machines [this is a documented problem]. That is why you have to create a subclass of the progress bar then instaciate the form class the progress bar has been added to. I learned this the hard way - at least in VFP 6 SP 3 this causes an error.

The work around is to create a subclass of the progress bar by dropping it on a form. Then you instanciate that subclass.
