    I am executing an asp, and wish to report to the client progress.

    Unfortunatly I cannot report progress untill I finish executing the script... and then sure the processing is complete.

    Anyone any ides how this can be done.

    Cheers in advance.

    You can use the buffer to print out your output HTML in stages as the server side code is executed. First set your buffering as on:
    response.buffer=true

    And then as whenever you want to add a progress report to the page:
    response.write("<p>This bit of code has been executed</p>")
response.flush

    It not exactly a status bar, but as good as you'll get with HTML delivery alone.
