Progress bar during workbook save
Hi there... I have hidden Excel(application.visible=False) and running
strickly from Userforms... on my userform is a Save commandbutton. I would like to show a progressbar during the save procedure. This is the code that runs when I click the Save Button. "Application.ThisWorkBook.Save". Is it possible to make the progressbar work at the same progress as the workbook save duration? Thanks Craig |

Hello Craig, Since you don't control the save process, it is impossible to kno which block of n blocks total has been saved. You might want to displa a animation instead. This at least let's the user know the computer i processing and not hung up (not entirely true I know). Just suggestion.

Just to add, whether you knew how many "blocks" have been saved or not, Save
is a single command and you would not be able to get control back to update your progress bar (until the command is completed). At that point, the need has passed. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Leith Ross" wrote in message ...

The size of the file is allways about the same... is it possible to use a
progressbar that takes 20 seconds to run while the workbook is saving? This would be fairly close to the time needed. "Leith Ross" wrote in message ...

You don't seem to understand that a progress bar does not run. You have to
have code within your code that progresses the bar. (A progress bar is no more sophisticated than a text box.) You can't do that for a single command. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Craig" wrote in message news:AWisf.209236$Gd6.33533@pd7tw3no...

OK... I understand now... instead could I display a messagebox / Userform
with the message "Saving File...Please Wait!" which would show before the file save and dissapear after the file save? Craig "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...
