First, Foxpro rocks!

Second, Delphi's progress ( thermometer ) bar allows for binding the colored portion of the bar to a record pointer -- even during an uninteruptible process like a COPY...

Yes, with Foxpro's object, you must code -- but there are other tools which on the odd occasion are actually easier to code / use than those inside our favorite language.

PS I previewed my response and the word Delphi wasn't blocked, that just proves the openess of this forum.
