Thanks for the quick replys.
Manpreet Im not really looking to use a msgbox because that would involve user interaction and an output file would defeat the purpose.
Basically my program doesn't actually use a batch file (it was just a simple example) my program has the ability to run silently without the need for user interaction but I produce a shell at the beginning to let the user know that its running I wanted to update that shell with information about how far along the program is at the moment (ie what its doing currently).
Jef not to sure if SendKeys() will let me do what I want, but I haven't tried it will try that now and let you know.
Thanks again
