I have a series of queries that I run from a function.
Its just a bunch of Docmd.Openquery statements....but I would love to include a progress bar for the entire set of queries in this job. I can do it within a DO LOOP, but is there a way to create a progress bar from something like this.
 
You can make a very simple progress bar by having a row of square images in a row (one for each query),start with them all invisible and make them visible one by one as each query completes. If each image has a nice 3D shaded effect then you can get what looks like a very professional bar.

You could use the inbuilt syscmd progress meter

You can see it implemented in my FAQ for FTP'ing faq705-5904
