>Please disregard the last message I sent you. At about 3:00 am in the morning I couldn't sleep so I started playing around with it and was able to figure it out. Thanks again. However I do have one question which perhaps you can answer. Isn't there a built in temperature (progression) bar that run when you perform a select statement. Have I perhaps set something off that doesn't allow it to run.

You can set SET TALK ON before issuing your SELECT and then SET TALK OFF after. But even SET TALK is ON, the progress bar may not appear if VFP thinks that SELECT is fast enough.
