<QUOTE>
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I execute the following code within a stored procedure (test)

I do have an insert for Msg_equates

A dialog comes up with the caption "Processing Orders..." with an

"OK" button and stops. I press the OK button and then I go into the

debugger below "ProcessOrder:" and the dialog "Processing Orders..." 

goes away.

Once I finish thru the debugger I get a second dialog box with

the caption "message" and an "OK" button. I press "OK" and that dialog

goeas away and the SP ends. Never any gasgauge

Any Ideas Please???

        OrderCnt=10

                     Def="

                     Def=Processing Orders..."

                     Def=GC"

                     Def=OrderCnt

                     MsgUp=Msg(@window, Def)

                     for Order=1 to OrderCnt

                     gosub ProcessOrder

                     * update the gauge and check if cancel was pressed

                     while Msg(@window, MsgUp, Order, MSGINSTUPDATE$)

                     next Order

                     Msg(@window, MsgUp) ;* take down the gauge

                     goto ENDIT

              ProcessOrder:

               FOR X=1 TO 1000

               

               NEXT X

<QUOTE>Steve-



You need to pass a parent into the program that is displaying the message, and use the parent in your code instead of @WINDOW.



Hope it helps-
