creating a progress bar?

[legos]

i am writing a program that drives and access form and i want to make a progress bar so i know how close a task is to completion. I want it to be based on a for loop and display what number it is on in the loop and the amount of times the loop has to run. Also if possible but not nessisary i would like to through in one of those blue bars that is a visual representation of the % complete. The status bar needs to be accesible by the user in case he wants to cancel, but does not stop the code in any way unless the cancel button is pressed. my guess is i need to create some kind of sub form.
ie.
_______________________
|______________________|
|Status: 57 out of 1034 |
| ________ |
| | cancel | |

Hi,

I use a progress bar on a form I have, it gets upadated on each completion of a loop. I think its just a microsoft progress bar obtainable through the more controls option in the tool bar. To use it is very simple, you just set the max and increment each time you loop.

ie.

MyForm.MyProgressBar.Max = YourLimit

MyForm.MyProgressBar.Value = i+1

At thats it.

Hope this helps.
