>I have the ms progress bar on a form and it works correctly, no problems. However, I call a small report program from the form (a standalone prg). I need the progress bar to work while in the small report. When I call the report I send the form object reference so the prg knows how to send values to the control:

>If I walk through this with the debugger, it works perfectly. If I run it, I can't see the progress bar change unless I put a wait state (ex: INKEY(1) ) in the ssiupdate() method. Putting Thisform.refresh() does not help. Somehow the form does not get refreshed if I return to the prg too quickly.

Does refreshing the control directly or setting focus to it help? For example:

thisform.control1.refresh()
- or -
thisform.control1.setfocus()

As an alternative, I think there is a thermomter class in the FFC.
