Show Progress of an Update/Appeng query

Hey guys, I need to show the progress of an action query on a progress meter. I know that when I run these queries a progress meter shows on the status bar but I can't figure out how to pass values to a progress meter while these are running and to show the total records processed. If need more info let me know.

So what your saying is that I have to create a record set and loop through it rather than using a query.
Yes.  Once an action query is started, Access takes over.  Your code suspends execution at the line that opens the query, so there is no way to run code to update a status display.  Also, Access does not provide any feedback from the query on it's current point in the process.
