Yes sure I use a flash object to use the progress bar, there are a 100% php progress bar but we need to apply a patch and recompile apache it's no easy for everybody.
Can you email me a set of instructions?? I'm a linux admin so compiling apache isn't a big deal. Send it to Brad@bizzarscripts.com and I'll go through it. It will give me something to do while i'm stuck at work
