Hi!

Esure

_VFP.AutoYield = .T.

If you afraid about performance, just switch it on for a few VFP commands at the end of a loop once/100 miliseconds, then switch it off. I can send you an example of code with such loop, if needed.

DOEVENTS also might help, but it works slower anyway because it also re-draws screens and checks for many other events, like clicks on UI controls (that might be not desired behavior).
