Animated GIF in tight report/process loop

Bruce;

I hear you and you are preaching to the choir. But this client has ideas of their own and I tried to explain to them that like you said in

A - an animated GIF in itself does not really show anything is happening.
B - Doable
C - We have 1.8 million (yes million) invoice records and the key for Invoices with balances can not be OPT (which would gives us those w/ flag on, but it has account in the key to so no RECORDS() benefit)
D - Don’t want to go there

After posting this we decided to Set the High Range to 500, then every 500 records reset the counter to give a pulsing progress. It is slower than the 100 range flash on the screen.

Great suggestions as usual though.
Kevin
