Create a label on the left side of the ProgressBar.Change the following Property Values are shown below:.Select the Progress Bar Control (if you have deselected it) and display the Property Sheet ( View - > Properties).You can make it in any size and shape you prefer. You have to do some resizing to make it look like the sample below. Draw a Progress Bar on the Form as shown in the image below.Select Microsoft Progress Bar Control, Version 6.0 from the displayed list.Select the ActiveX Control Option from Insert Menu.Open the ProgressMeter Form in Design View.However, you can use this method with our earlier Program replacing the sysCmd() lines for transaction-level processing, to view the Progress Bar on your own Form rather than on the Status Bar. If any readers found a solution to this problem, please share it with me too. When tried in MS-Access 2003 it totally ignores updating the Progress Bar Control, even with the database Formats MS-Access 2000, 2002, and 2003. NB: This method for Macros was found working in MS Access 2000 only. We will try the Progress Bar Control on the sample Form that we have already designed earlier, for use with Macros.
