Displaying data on Excel Statusbar?

[Guest]

Hello,

Does Excel have any function like the SysCmd function in MS Access for
displaying data in the Excel Statusbar? Is it possible to display data in
the Excel statusbar or make like a progres meter?

How to do this?

Thanks,
Rich

Use (in VB) Application.Statusbar = "My message" to display a message
and Application.Statusbar = False to remove it.
To make a progressbar you can work with something like "Processing
XXoooooo" to "Processing XXXXXXXX"

Use the following:

Application.Statusbar = FALSE 'to turn off'
Application.Statusbar = "Enter your comment" 'to display at the Lower Left
corner of the Excel window.

Oh, man! This is so cool!

I've got a procedure that takes about 8 minutes with screen-updating turned
off. People are looking at me like it's frozen. So, I put in the progress bar
- and now they are happy again!

Sweet!
