Which is why I said the 'best' solution would be to read the progress
right off of Access' progress bar.

But it's a project I don't have time to build right now.

  I agree as well.  Not much of a progress bar.  I'd rather put up an
animation.  To me, a bar that might reach 100% and then sit there for
two or
three minutes because a server is slow is not only worthless, but would
imply that the app poorly developed. 

  Not something I'd want to put in front of a user.

  Nothing worse in my book then telling'em something and it's not right.

Jim.

 "...works perfectly Stu ...it even takes the progress meter out of the
status bar ...just "calculating"  "

What version of Access? With A2K2 it has no effect at all on the native
progress bar: still shows up.

But the biggest problem with this little tool is that you need to know
in
advance how long the query will take to run before calling the progress
bar.
Not much use IMHO. YMMV depending on network conditions etc. etc.
