How can I force a form to appear...

[scotty]

Hello...

Got a perplexing problem...

I have program that pops up a form:
Progress_form.Visible = True

then I send files via FTP:
bRet = FtpPutFile(hConnection, LLocal.....

The form will not appear completely until the ftp is done. Does this have to do with a multitasking (or threading). How can I disable this?

Thanks,
Scott

It's because the Processing of Showing your Form to Getting the File is so quick that the Form doesn't have enough Process time to Show completely, before calling your Download Function/Code Issue a call to DoEvents.

You are a genius. Works like a champ!

I am curious...
Is there a way to figure progress on
FtpPutFile? Or is this beyond the limits of the function?

Thanks,
Scott
