Status: offline 		I have a  class that is a progress bar that works great. I have a bunch of functions that do certain things and one main function that calls each of these functions one after another to do thier jobs. What i want to do is to display the progress bar and while the functions are doing thier job simply have the progress bar alert them that this functions is taking place. I am not sure if I can how to do this in VBscript though. In each function I can call the Progress Bar class and set the time of the progress bar to a certain length to allow for each function to do its job. However when I call the Progress Bar class from each function it does not run the function until the Progress Bar is complete. This is fine for most of the functions as the functions may only take a few seconds to complete. But some of the functions can take up to 20 seconds to complete and I do not want to have to wait an additional 20 seconds after the progress bar is done to run the functions job and then move on. Is there a away to have the progress bar run along with the Function at the same time? Or set the progress Bar to run and then start calling all the other functions while the progress bar is running?

Thanks

It is a great bar But i am not sure how I would make this into one that will run while my other functions are running.

This is the main fucntion I have that I want the progress bar to run while the Function is running

Status: offline 		Thanks EB. I did that and it worked. However I have to go another route. I am packaging this into a exe and when the exe unpackages them it creates Temp files so I have no way of knowing what the temp file will be called. So I have to go another route.

Is there a way to elimate the OK button on a WSCRIPT.echo? So that the script will continue to run without having the user click the OK button?

It's a class that I wrote that gives you a progress bar while your script goes on and does other things.
It should run just fine from a "compiled" script (a packaged .EXE), and cleans up after itself pretty well.
