Are you wanting a progress bar, or are you noticing that our screen flashes
as your macro runs?
If you are wanting a progress bar, there are several examples on the web
shownig how to create one. Just do a Google search for "Excel VBA Progress
Bar".
Some examples:
http://www.andypope.info/vba/pmeter.htm
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/Progress.htm
If the latter, you are seeing your screen flash while your macro is running...
This is because your Application is updating as your macro performs certain
functions. You can actually disable this feature and inturn speed up your
macro's run time a bit as well. The command to disable your screen updating
is:
Applicaton.ScreenUpdating = False
Put that at the beginning of your macro to disable the application screen
updating and you will not see any flashing screens as your macro runs.
Just don't forget to change this feature back to TRUE at the end of your
macro:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
