This progress form is sooo excellent I use it in all of my projects. It allows you to display a progress bar, display progress messages, close when finish etc. The demo was whipped up in about 30 minutes and the code is simple and demonstrates how to use the main features of the form. Open www.colbyconsulting.com , then click on Misc Demos, then the hotlink. Enjoy. John W.
