What is the best way to implement this? Use VB for your GUI, or MFC will find some way to bite you in the butt! Quote: > Also, I am having a problem creating a DLL in VB5.

You should turn your DLL into an OCX with an OnStatus event then you only need to code a status display. MYCOntrol_StatusChanged(Status as integer) select case Status case 1 statusbar.text = "Now munching your disk drive" case 2 statusbar.text = "Emailing threating letters to goverment leaders in your name." etc... By the way it appears that the new standard is not to have separate dialog boxes to display status but to show the status on the main form. Check Word 97 down at the bottom a lot is going on. jr!
