It actually takes less than 20 seconds for 1 letter search.

>>Thanks. I managed to get it to work, but basically I agree with you. However, I'm now allowing to escape once and answer NO, I pressed this button by mistake. But in this case I'm re-running REQUERY() again. If they hit ESC again and answer NO again, they would have search interrupted. I don't want to program loop here, though it may work as well.

>>>I see no way to make the query continue if the user hits escape. To me the whole point is that the user is tired of waiting and wants to quit. If they hit escape by mistake, they'll have to learn to be more careful. You could put a window behind the progress bar, which advertises the escape key and warns of the consequences.
