>>>see the VFP Help on "Set Talk" What I have done in the past is define a dummy window that is never shown and "Set Talk Window DummyWindow" This way I do not use the status bar, but with set talk on I still get the SQL progress bar but all other output gets redirected to the dummy (unseen) window.

Hi Mark,
I surround my SQL-Statements with SET TALK ON and SET TALK OFF
that way I will have a progress bar. If you have the STATUS BAR ON
it will show in the status bar the amount of records found and
the time it took to find it, if you have the STATUS BAR OFF it wil
send the same information to the actived window. The same thing
when you open a database with USE and set an order with SET ORDER TO
IndexName, it shows the path of the CDX file either in the
STATUS BAR or in the actived window. What I would like to have is
something similar at what FoxPro does automatically, that way
I don't have to go to every SQL-Statement to fix that. Try this :
.- From the command line say:
SET STATUS BAR OFF
SET TALK ON
.- Open one of your projects
.- Select "Build" and then "Rebuild All"

You will see how FoxPro uses a small window in the upper
right of your screen to display the progress of the rebuilding process.
That is what I want.

Thank you very much for your response.

Any suggestions ?
