Currently I have autocad 2004 performing some actions from instructions being issued from microsoft access 2000. Sometimes the actions takes a minute to complete. I want to display a progress dialog box in autocad that tells the user the percentage completed of the process. I could do this in access and then not display acad until after the process is complete but I would like to bring up acad and display the progress there. Is there a way to issue a message box command (with a cancel button) in autocad from access that will allow the code to continue processing? Thanks, Joel
