Update Meter

[Mike]

Hi:

First time user of the syscmd Command. Trying to get the
meter to work and show progress. It starts but meter does
not move to show progress. Here are the commands in my
code.
Any ideas

varRet2 = SysCmd(acSysCmdInitMeter, "Processing ", 100)
..
..
varRet2 = SysCmd(acSysCmdUpdateMeter, , 50)
..
..
varRet2 = SysCmd(acSysCmdUpdateMeter, , 100)
varRet2 = SysCmd(acSysCmdRemoveMeter)

Hi Mike,

Try eliminating the second (empty) argument on the second SysCmd statement:

varRet2 = SysCmd(acSysCmdUpdateMeter, 50)

For more ideas on progress meters take a look at my sample db on
