hi,

1. Design an ActiveX control simulating like a progress bar(using Picture box) and then use the print method to print the percentage.

2. here the code...
The TabStrip control is not a container. To contain the actual pages and their objects, you must use Frame controls or other containers that match the size of the internal area which is shared by all Tab objects in the control. If you use acontrol array for the container, you can associate each item in the array with a specific Tab object, as in the following example:

Option Explicit
Private mintCurFrame As Integer' Current Frame visible

Private Sub Tabstrip1_Click()
If Tabstrip1.SelectedItem.Index = mintCurFrame _
Then Exit Sub ' No need to change frame.
' Otherwise, hide old frame, show new.
Frame1(Tabstrip1.SelectedItem.Index).Visible = True
Frame1(mintCurFrame).Visible = False
' Set mintCurFrame to new value.
mintCurFrame = Tabstrip1.SelectedItem.Index
End Sub

hope this will help uuuu...
