% completed box

[Guest]

I have a rather lengthy macro that basically loops through a long list of
company names. This macro takes appr. 20 minutes to run and therefore I would
like to give the user some idea of how long time has gone/is left. What I
would like is some sort of a message box that shows where the process is in
the code. I have an integer that is the length of the list and another
variable that is a counter. In terms of code:
Assume i = position and k = length of list.

For i= 1 to k
……do some stuff
Next

Thus it would be really nice if I could have some message box that shows eg:
Msgbox “Number of companies searched: “ & I & “. Total number of companies:
“ & k

Or something like that. Please help how to construct such a thing. Thank you
very much!!!
