Hi Michael,

I used to use thermometer functions like that for copying files but was never real happy with them, especially when the files were large. You may want to take a look at the late Ed Rauh's SHFileOperation functions in the API section. It uses calls to the windows file copy operations including the graphic animations/progress bars.

>>Expanding on what Sergey suggested, you need to tell the progress bar what percentage of the files have been copied, not the number of files. The formula should look like this: (nAlreadyCopied/nFilesToCopy)*100 and maybe even INT((nAlreadyCopied/nFilesToCopy)*100) to give it whole numbers from 1 to 100.
