However progress bar is not displayed In the future, please put the code directly in to the message, it's much easier to work with ... having to view it in Word, and such is weird, and not helpful. Rather than issuing "do t_progress.wfm", you will have better control and the ability to reference the form properly by creating an instance of the form in the code: set procedure to t_progress.wfm fProgForm = new progressForm() Then, in the code that follows, you need to set the max value for the progress control: fProgForm.progress1.rangeMin := 1 fProgForm.progress1.rangeMax := 100 // and you can set the value for the entryfield: fProgForm.entryfield1.value := "Some Text" // then open the form: fProgForm.open() // At this point: fProgForm.progress1.value := 15 fProgForm.entryfield1.value := "Reindexing 1" do t_inde.prg // next one: fProgForm.progress1.value := 30 fProgForm.entryfield2.value := "Reindexing 2" do t_inde2.prg // guessing this is a different program // when done, cleanup: fProgForm.close() fProgForm.release() release object fProgForm fProgForm := null close procedure t_progress.wfm You're really doing more work than you need to in your code. :) Ken -- *Ken Mayer* Ken's dBASE Page: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase The dUFLP: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/index.htm#duflp dBASE Books: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/Books/dBASEBooks.htm dBASE Tutorial: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/Tutorial/00_Preface.htm dBASE Web Tutorial: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/WebTutorial/00_Menu.htm
