Your re-post arrived just fine this time.
I second the earlier comments made by Joe Milosch - it's a neat routine.
I have carefully stashed it away in my directory of "miscellaneous PB stuff 
that may be useful sometime".  Actually, I have a service monitoring/billing 
program that I intend to incorporate this into the next time I update the 
program; it takes a while to collate the billing information and your routine 
beats my current "Now processing record number x of y" display.
Thank you.  Ya done good!
