Edwardo,

You are making the assumption that everyone is using a newsreader that
allows searching.

I use Outlook Express to communicate with newsgroups and to my knowledge
there is no way to search, primarily because it only downloads a post when
you click on it, otherwise with the amount of groups I subscribe to my HD
woulf fill up in no time.

I appreciate you taking the time to reply to me.

Hi Paul,
when you go to the discussion groups you have a window to enter the words
to
be search, beside there is another window where you can choose from
different
groups, let' say excel, new users, and excel programing. If you don't see
this windows go to the news group and just search for Progress Bar, I did
and
you will find like 30 different answers, I wanted you to go there so you
can
decide which one works better for you

hope this helps now

With respect, what sort of answer/assistance is that?

I had hoped I had formulated my question respectfully enough to be taken
seriously. Yes there are alternatives that the people who wrote my
requirement, for reasons of their own, did not wish to use. I was asked
if
a progress bar could be used on a worksheet. I tried and could not
reference it, so thought someone more knowledgable than I might offer
some
sage advice.

So to ask again, is it possible to control a Microsoft ProgressBar
Control
version 6.0, placed on a worksheet, from within running VBA code - if so
how
is the control referenced?

Yeah, it is really dumb to do something that is easy isn't it?

I have added the to my Controls list in Excel 2007. I can insert the
control onto my worksheet but I can find no way of controling it, or
referencing it for that matter.

I am not interested in using the control bar on a userform, that would
be
too easy and not waht my deliverable requires!
