>i have a LARGE table that i pack and then index on about 4 different Tags... - i would like to have a thermometer on the form that is in the foreground while the table is worked on... which is fine - but i would also like a thermomator running on the form showing progress... any ideas? i have played with the one that comes with Fox7 but have not had any luck yet - how do i get it to work while a table is being packed and indexed? an example if anyone has one would be great!!! :-)))

You can use SET TALK TO WINDOW and SET TALK ON to show some record counts during the processing and that about it.
