Gerald,

The way I cheat is to create a text file and log status reports to it. Then I look at that file with BBedit across a network.

The problem with trying to do it within the InDesign document is getting InDesign to redraw. Some things do cause it, but I'm not entirely sure what. I suspect that placing an external file does, so one approach would be to create a series of images of a progress bar and relink to them, remembering to update each time.

But I've not tried it.

Dave
