Gordon, don't the Flash progress bars you're thinking of relate to the Flash file itself and not to a file the user is uploading to the server? The Flash plugin has a variable that reveals how large the movie is and how much of it has already loaded. I'm afraid it can't be used for uploads or files that aren't part of the movie itself. Flash can't read client-side files.
I believe the underlying problem is that the browser first uploads the file to the web server with the form before CF even gets a whiff of what's happening. The upload is complete before CF has a chance to do anything. The web server doesn't report to CF on the progress of the upload (but from what I read it will report progress to Perl if you have that installed). This means any solution has to be on the client side and without an applet or ActiveX component I can't see how else this can be achieved. Gary. On 5/7/06, Gordon Burns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

If I find something I will post to the list. Thanks for input so far.
