>I have some prgs that call this progress bar and it works great in VFP7 but in VFP8 the progress bar form displays but an hour glass shows and the progress bar itself on the form never seems to appear or change.

I don't see a DOEVENTS in the code you showed, but if you're using that command, be aware that its behavior changed in VFP 8. (Actually, it changed in 7 and changed again in 8.)
