Dynamic numbers of boxes (a tough one)

[biot023]

I wish to display the progress of a job on a form as the job is underway. I've been asked can I create bar charts illustrating the progress of various operators against each other & the job totals.
The amount and IDs of users will change regularly, so I need to be able to call the right number of boxes (I figured I'd go with boxes & work their heights out against percentages of work done).
It's a toughie, I think.

Have you tried a group of progress bar controls?

I have used the Built-in Progressbar control but It only works to see the progress of code, is there anyway of including it in an Advanced Query that does a lot of calculations... They can in some cases take up to 10-15 Minutes to calculate, and it could be nice to include a Progressbar in them.. but I have not found a way of doing it...
In code I use the recordset.PercentPosition to identify how far it has gotten...
But if you do the calculations purely in Queries I have not found a way of adding a progressbar...
