>Thanks. I took a look at it, but it won't force any commands to run while a query is executing. I had also tried creating a timer in Windows using SetTimer and handling it with GetMessage. Then destroying it with KillTimer. The same thing happens. The timer always gets a lower priority than the executing query. It looks like I'll have to redesign the way I'm trying to do things.

You can create a UDF that can be used in the query to animate Your control. Something like:

n_animate = 0

SELECT ...., MyFunc(reference_to_control_to_be_animated) AS Dummy .....

FUNCTION MyFunc(oControl)
  n_animate = n_animate + 1
  IF n_animate % 100 = 0 && Run at every 100 records
     oControl.Animate()
  ENDIF

RETURN ""
