Thanks both of you's reply!
Sorry if I didn't explain my question very well.
I have a heavy page that will call a activex control to generate a word report, it will take about one minute. because to make the progress bar works fine, you have to keep looping. I just don't know where I will put the following code to make the both work together:

<OBJECT ID = WORDREPORT......>
WORDREPORT.InitializeData
WORDREPORT.GenerateRpt

these two call take some time.
