I'm working on a form that calls a SQLEXEC to kick off a server-side SQL stored procedure. A command button issues the SQLEXEC and then initiates the timer controls Interval property to check each second for the result.

The problem I have is that whilst a stored procedure could be running for several minutes, my progress is not being reported to the textbox control as I require.

I'm fairly new to VFP client/server applications - Has anyone got any ideas as to what may be wrong?

CommandButton code:

ThisForm.GenerateData=SQLEXEC(ThisForm.nFileHandle, "EXECUTE Walks.dbo.up_GenerateDataSupply 'J4666'")
ThisForm.tmrGenerateData.Interval=10000

Timer Event code:

DO CASE
CASE ThisForm.GenerateData=1
ThisForm.txtGenerateData.Value=ALLTRIM(TIME())+" - Data Generation Completed"
This.Interval=0
CASE ThisForm.GenerateData=0
ThisForm.txtGenerateData.Value=ALLTRIM(TIME())+" - In Progress"
This.Interval=1000
CASE ThisForm.GenerateData=-1
ThisForm.txtGenerateData.Value=ALLTRIM(TIME())+" - Procedure Failed"
This.Interval=0
ENDCASE
