Progress Bar

[Terry]

I would like to use a progress bar type control on a form/report, but not to
track the time of an event. I would like it to be just a visual
representation of a number placed in a text box - i.e. if the text box says
75 the progress bar would show 75% complete. I am sure I can create the
effect with a group of text boxes and conditional formatting, but I was
hoping that there was something available (like the activex control that is
available in Access) to just pass the variable to.



Any guidance?

Just set the value of the progress bar to the number in your textbox.
i.e. in the after update event of the text box put this code

YourProgressBarName.Value = YourTextBoxName

Thanks - works great. Do you know if there is a way to change the color of
the bar?

There may be a way, but I don't know it.
