That sounds like a good idea but this program is to run in the background on a ftp server and I want to minimize the amount of processor resources the program uses. I think that a progress bar may be overkill but if it did not take much more resources it may be a good solution. Also I have never used the progress indicator so for me there is also the learning curve to consider (Learning is wonderful though). I will have to check it out. Thanks for your help.
