Progress Bar

[Dowsey1977]

Hi,

I've currently got a macro that runs when an object is clicked. This opens up a custom made form, which then triggers a macro that opens the 'Open File' dialogue box and a sheet from a spreadsheet is copied over. After this another macro is called that moves information around on the sheets.

What I want is a progress bar to appear that runs whilst the macro is running so that the user knows that the programme isn't just hanging and doing nothing. The progress bar I found here seems ideal...

However, I'm not sure where to put this in my existing code??

I would paste my code in but it is pretty long!

Any ideas?

The code has to go in the code section for the progress bar user form. If your code has a loop, you can update the progress bar on each iteration, otherwise, you can estimate the progress throughout the code and update accordingly.

Ok...I have no loop, so would need to estimate.

Here is the code:
[VBA]
Option Explicit

Sub StatusBar()

Dim x As Integer
Dim MyTimer As Double

'Change this loop as needed.
For x = 1 To 250

'Dummy Loop here just to waste time.
'Replace this loop with your actual code.
MyTimer = Timer
Do
Loop While Timer - MyTimer < 0.03

Application.StatusBar = "Progress: " & x & " of 250: " & Format(x / 250, "Percent")
DoEvents

Next x

Application.StatusBar = False

End Sub
[/VBA]

How would I amend this/add to my code to allow me to estimate this??

Thanks,
Me
