If the table is unordered then you can compare RECNO() against RECCOUNT() to move the progress bar, but I am not sure I like having an "erratic" progress bar (One that moves a different speeds)

Instead of a progress bar you can set talk to window, set talk on and do a replace for (same condition as scan), although I think it also behaves "erratic"

Just my 2 cents
