There is a nice three piece (basic, progress bar with count, progress bar with percent) described in the current issue of FoxTalk including the code. I just dropped this on a form and things worked fine. I have also subclassed the calendar as describe in the M$ Fox area to 'data bind' the control again without problem.
I'm curious about the 'no ocx' comment. Packages like GraphServer etc seem quite stable. What components have been problematic aside from this thread?
