Build A Progress Bar In Access

This video explains how to create a progress bar to indicate the progress of a lengthy series of events or using a timer. A solid colour, an image or a gradient fill can be used for the progress bar.
It works in both 32-bit and 64-bit Access.
For further information the example app and all related code, see my article: www.isladogs.co.uk/progress-bar/

Great teaching how to add a progress bar to an Access application. Thanks, Colin, and for your creative ways to show the progress, nice touch. I'm looking at your sample database -- well done. I'm currently making a video about drawing circles on an Access report and watching this gave me ideas for a better approach, thanks

Great work, however I need to refer here to the main reason for progress bar usage which be in the loading of first access form like my own splash screen that supposed hide some actions of starting up parameters or checking connection with back end file or attaching vbe libraries. How to sync progress bar timing with that, there is too many videos in KZbin explaining progress bar and link his work with a fixed time referring that to facilitate illustration or linking it to actions in a table in the db but no one ever check the point I mentioned earlier. In my db I do a trial that is some how a fake one,that I load all parameters, libraries and checking connection to the backend thereafter I run a fake progress bar for 5 sec that I show checking connection, loading libraries,initiate parameters 😅 but really need to synchronize it with the real actions but I don't know how 😢 I hope if you can do another video that show the same Many thanks @IsladogsOnAccess

@IsladogsOnAccess can I have your kind feedback please

Sorry. I didn't see this at the time and am not really sure what you are asking. If its still relevant, feel free to send me an email via my website to explain further

@Ger Fer Yes it is. 😁 As stated in the video description above: For further information the example app and all related code, see my article: www.isladogs.co.uk/progress-bar/
