When the program copy files, the text box Total_Percentage_Done is not being updated

When the program copy files, the text box Total_Percentage_Done is not being updated
It copied all of the files from one directory into another, but the text box showing
percentage completed never got updated.

This line with a  99 mark can be found below
 99     Total_Percentage_Done.Text = Total_Percentage_Completed   <-- Problem

Try adding a DoEvents before your Next line:

DoEvents
Next object_File
