Hi David,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try. Sound to me like it should work.

As for the reason for using HTML inside a VFP application, well I was simply experimenting with some ideas that I got from an article in FoxPro Advisor by Andrew MacNeil entitled "Build Intuitive Web-like Applications", April 2002. One thing led to another and before I knew it I'd almost converted an existing Fox application. I've gone too far to give up now and everyone who has seen it likes it and wants me to finish it:)

Thanks again for the assistance.

Mike

Inside NumberCrunch() you should be able to push new HTML into the browser control to indicate progress. This could even be % complete where you stretch a gif. There are a couple of poll articles on the Wiki where you vote by simply incrementing the horizontal stretch of a 1 bit wide bar gif.
