Jim,
I don't work on Macs, but bear in mind that as this is not Windows, there is
no ActiveX. I assume all the native Excel Forms controls function, but I
have no idea about those from the Control Toolbox.
I would think any other controls would be a no-no.
I have no idea how Office automation would work, as there is no COM/OLE.

I guess keep it simple.

I just read that according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel :
"The first version of Excel was released for the Mac in 1985..."

This may help:

Hi NickHK,

I Added 2 lines within the loop:

DoEvents
Userform1.Repaint

And everything now works fine. I'm creating this macro for a
Business friend who runs his Excel stuff on Macs, not PCs. I'm
Just rocking along coding what I think he needs (here on my PC),
Hoping everything I do will "transfer" without a hitch to his
Mac based units and his Excel program. Do I need to be concerned
About anything in particular (that you know of) here?

Thanks again..

Jim

Jim,
Maybe it's me, but I don't see where you're updating the textbox anyway
??
Anyway...
Add a DoEvents after you update the value of the text box, as you are
currently not giving the form chance to repaint.

The following code works fine; except for the Userform1 I created
which
is to serve as a Progress-Bar - "Macro Is Running" is content of
Textbox1- and
I have in the form code window Userform1.Initilize event
Userform1.Show
vbModeless << The problem is when I Run the Macro the Userform1
comes
up but remains blank (without test) throughout.. In step-thru mode it
shows up.
I'm confused as to why it doesn't show the text while the macro is
successfully running.
Any ideas?
TIA,
