URGENT! How to use a Progress Bar!

[Animelion]

I have a listbox, and I am going thru it 1 item at a time, how can I make it so that I have a Progress Bar show how far it is gone thru the list ?

I don't understand the first part of your question, but as for breaking out the name, if the full name/extent has only one period, then

nameonly = left (fname, instr(1, fname, "."))

will work fine. If more than one period can be there, you have to create a reverse instr function to scan from the right.

Thanks, but I figured it out, so I changed the topic of the post, read it again

the progress bar has two things that you need be concerned.

1) A value that represents the end (Progressbar.max)
2) A value that represents a number between 0 and the end(progressbar.value).

You set the end value before you start the iteration.

You keep setting the progress value during each iteration.

You will undoubtedly need to do a progressForm.refresh or doEvents inside the iteration loop.

What exactly made this urgent?

You place a progress bar on the form.

progressbar1.min = 0
progressbar1.max = 100

now to change the values
progressbar1.value = progressbar1.value + 10 (for example)

also, you want to check that if progressbar1.value = 100 then upon addition, it just stays the same or goes back to 0.
