Thanks Doug

No, I did not have any form visible. I subclassed SDTProgressForm and used the "As Top-Level Form" and it worked. Thanks for your time!

Do you have any form visible at the time you call Update? If not, you'll have to either do so or use a subclass of SDTProgressForm with ShowWindow set to 2 (As Top-Level Form).
