I don't know if this is possible but I was hoping it is. I am trying
to make a loading status bar appear while my data is being saved in access. With large queries it sometimes takes a while and I want the user to know that it is ben exported. Does anyone know of a way to have a status bar with the percentage complete appear while the exporting is taking place? Does this make sense? -Justin |

I don't know about the progress bar, but when I have this situation, I put a message box in letting the user know that it will take a while.

[...] Hi, take a look at 'Microsoft Excel 2000 Power Programming with VBA' by John Walkenbach or its later versions by the same author (you can find it on the Web as a pdf file ;-). He gives very cute pieces of code that will do all the black work for you and you will be - I promise - very, very happy with the final product you'll arrive at. You'll get a very professional-looking loading status bar (fully customizable, of course). I would give you the code but unfortunatelly it requires to build a (very simple, indeed) form, so it would take too much to explain in here. Kind regards Darlove |

G'day there Justin, Darlove, and all others,
take a look at 'Microsoft Excel 2000 Power Programming with VBA' by John Walkenbach or its later versions by the same author (you can find it on the Web as a pdf file ;-). He gives very cute pieces of code that will do all the black work for you and you will be - I promise - very, very happy with the final product you'll arrive at. You'll get a very professional-looking loading status bar (fully customizable, of course). I would give you the code but unfortunatelly it requires to build a (very simple, indeed) form, so it would take too much to explain in here. I can thoroughly recommend John Walkenbach's books. I have the 2003 iteration of the above title right here alongside me atop a dead 'pooter case. It's a well worn tome. Be that as it may, the above is 100% correct. The code provided is spot on, extremely simple to adapt to requirements and works marvelously well. My last project included a simple call to the appropriate subroutine as my main loop progressed. The provided me with a very professional looking progress bar that did all the right things. Quite impressed I was. I'm now awaiting the world wide acclaim I believe I'm entitled to in the category of "Magnificent Use of Code Written by Someone Who Knows Far More About the Subject Than I Do". It will probably be the easiest and most efficient way to get a progress bar that you will find anywhere. See ya Ken McLennan Qld, Australia |

Hi again,
Well, perhaps there is somewhere on the Web, on some page, a pdf version of the book... but I doubt it for reasons you should have already guessed ;-) What I'd suggest is that you get yourself a copy of eMule or eDonkey and... dive into the marvellous world of free pdf files and many, many more :) Of course, such books like this one are NOT AVAILABLE on-line unless there is an option of pay-and-download. But there is no such option this time, unfortunately, simply because such a book is too valuable and the author, hats off before him!, has to get his money for the indeed hard work he's done.
