It's been a while but I'm back on this. I've found it easy to update the progress bar whenever I'm in a loop as in your example. However, I am using an "APPEND FROM &IMPFILE DELIMITED" statement so I don't have to use low level file commands. I am using this in the application framework and compiled as a Top Level application. I don't want to display a status bar but I would like to extract the progress number(s) during the "Append" operation if possible. Then I can do the math & update a message or progress bar etc. Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Greg Taylor
