Hi Michael

I assume that, in the program you are doing other things while the form is up and VFP is simply "caching" the changes to the progress bar. You need to force the form to re-draw itself in order to see the progress.

Either add an explicit "ThisForm.Draw()" to the timer event or include a DoEvents command.
