Hi!

This is not possible to do in VFP. Indexing process does not allow any progress bars by recno(). In addition, indexing process is not linear. This means that VFP starts indexing by scanning all records and creating the index keys, then sort indexes, then create/update index file and so on - a few processes. The progress bar by recno() here will be irrelevant and progress bar will display progress incorrectly.

If you like experiment, you can try to use filter for index that is a call to function. In the function using recno() you can display a progress. Return always .T. in that funtion. Anyway, I do not recommend to use this approach, because function should be available all the time when you open table for editing (and always return .T.). In addition, filtered indexes are not used in Rushmore optimisation, so this kind of indexes will display nice progress bar, but also these indexes will be useless.
