How about using the status bar, something like this...

Sub test()
Dim lng As Long

For lng = 1 To 10
Application.StatusBar = "Working on #" & lng & " of 10"
Application.Wait (Now() + TimeSerial(0, 0, 2))
Next lng
Application.StatusBar = False
End Sub

While this is running look at the status bar in the bottom left hand corner.

Is there a way to show a "count down" like 1 of 100, 2 of 100, 3 of 100 etc.
in excel while excel is running a macro?
I am working in a folder with 100 files, everytime a file is opened by the
macro can a counter be shown what file it is one, IE 1 of 100 etc.

I looked at progress bars, but I don't think I can do that yet.
