Create & Call upon activex progress bar Access 2007

You can only modify the setting of the progress bar when you have control of the process.
If you start a long query running then you don't get control again until it has finished.

^
Yes, you have to update the progressbar after each operation (10% done, 20% done, 30%done, ...ect)

Since you only have one operation (one query), this is meaningless.

BTW, trying to do this on a timer (The query takes about 10 seconds to run), is notoriously unrelaible, so don't even consider it.

Right now, its only one query.. this is just the beginning.
Just for giggles, how would i call upon to open and update this activex progress bar control?

I agree with Jeff that ActiveXes in Access are a potential trouble spot.

But here is an example anyway.
The code is in the form timer event.
db21.mdb

I still cant figure anything out. I added the coding per the KB article with no luck, and i dont know how to integrate the code from peter57r.

I want it to initiate once one of the buttons is clicked. ie. 1) User chooses a date 2) User clicks a button 4) Progressbar appears 5) Query appears.

Right now only the first button 401K works and is tied to a Macro which executes a query when clicking that button.

I am currently in the process of adding a query that goes through several table and have been sitting here 8min now waiting for it to finish.

romerica,

Nobody can know what you mean by: "no luck", unless you tell us.

Can you :
1. Explain or post the cdode you used
2. State what happened
3. State what did not happen

Or simply post a sample of your database.

JeffCoachman

Remember to *first* test the sample as it is presented in the link, this works fine for me.

sorry, i think i just dont know where to put the code.. here is what i have (see code below) I will post 2 seperate codes

Im trying to attach it to "Private Sub BTN_401k_GotFocus()" b/c i want it to execute when i click the button to run the query as part of the macro.
So I copied and pasted MS artice stated above there but am not too sure if i have to change any names...

Does that make sence?

Whenever i did that, it came back with an error with a portion highlighted


I also dont know what the article is referring to as "module".

romerica,

The code you posted is all over the place.

First, realize that what you have asked for here *requires* you to be familiar with VBA and coding.

So in this code:

Option Compare Database
 
Private Sub Detail_Click()
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
 
    Meter
 
End Sub
 
End Sub

...You have wrapped a sub in a sub
Do you want the code to run on the click event of a button or on the Open event of the form?

It should look like this:
 
Private Sub Detail_Click()
     Meter
end Sub

Or this:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
    Meter
End Sub
 

The words:
Option Explicit
Option Compare Database

...will only appear once, ...at the top of all the code.

Perhaps another Expert can get you sorted out.
I would have to see a sample of this database
