I think you'll find that the whole point of his question
was that he doesn't know the Max value until the function
is finished.

I personally would probably just do something like keeping
a count of the number of files found and do something like:

Caption:=Caption+' - '+IntToStr(NumFiles)+' Files Found.';

At least it shows the luser that the code is still busy.
