Need to make a completion progress indicator on an Access 2013 form

[semperchristus]

I am new to Access, but have created a form that works well for my needs. My only hurdle is that I need to have a form completion progress indicator (10% through 100%) of some sort showing the progress of the form user and his or her completion of the entire form. The form has a large number of check boxes that I would like to use as "mileposts" for the progress. Can someone please suggest a method and walk me through the steps in creating such a thing, if possible? Thanks in advance!

This feature comes with it's own drawbacks, FYI. Time it takes to complete the code will it match the actual event? etc... That said, here is an example I found.

Here's a free video tutorial on a progress bar approach. Access is single threaded, so any Progress approach will have tostop the current process; show progress; then go back to original process; and repeat ...etc.

Thanks so much for the rapid reply. What I really need is as follows: My form has ten check boxes in various locations. When check box #1 is "checked", I need "10%" to appear in a text box (labeled % completed) at the top of the form. When check box #2 is "checked, I need "20%" to appear in the same text box and so on up to "100%" when check box #10 is "checked". Thanks for any examples you could provide.

So, what you are really asking for is not a progress bar but rather an If this, then that! See Example Below, modify to suit your needs.

If (Me.chk1) = True Then
Me.lbl1.Caption = "10%"
End If
