Hi Jojo,

the secret is not to refresh the progress bar too often.

>>>I use progress bar in my VFP code a lot. Basically it is class that displays a form with retangular shapes. Within a FOR-ENDFOR, SCAN - ENDSCAN loop, I update the progress bar form. The following code illustrates a typical use >>

>Have you notice any difference in processing time having a progress bar and no progress bar at all? I also uses progress bar but it normally affects the processing time, I had used a windows base progress bar & dos base progress bar within DO WHILE-ENDDO, FOR-ENDFOR and SCAN-ENDSCAN.. using this makes the processing slower.
