Loading Progress Bar in MS Access VBA

When working with complex procedures in MS Access, it is essential to keep track of the progress of your code. This can be achieved by displaying a loading progress bar within the Visual Basic Editor (VBE). In this article, we will explore how to load and execute MS Access VBA programs while keeping users informed about the status of their execution.

To begin with, open the Macros dialog box by doing either one of the following:

* Position your cursor within a procedure in the code window.

* Alternatively, you can also access the Macros dialog box by navigating to Developer > Visual Basic > Tools > Macro > Macros.

Once you have opened the Macros dialog box, you will be able to run a previously loaded VBA program using one of the four methods listed below:

1. Running a Program from Visual Basic Editor: This method allows you to execute a VBA program directly from within the VBE.

2. Instrument Status Bar Indicating the Status of the VBA Program: The instrument status bar provides real-time feedback about the execution status of your VBA program. The status is indicated by either 'Run' or 'Stop', depending on whether the program is currently running or has been stopped.

The E5072A, a versatile tool for automating MS Access tasks, offers two methods to execute a VBA program:

1. Executing a Program That You Previously Loaded: This method allows you to run a previously loaded VBA program without having to re-load it every time.

2. Loading and Executing a Program in a Batch Process: This method enables you to load and execute multiple VBA programs in a single batch process, making it an efficient way to automate repetitive tasks.

In conclusion, by using the loading progress bar feature within MS Access VBA, you can ensure that your users are kept informed about the status of their code execution. Whether you need to run a previously loaded program or load and execute multiple programs in a batch process, the E5072A provides the necessary tools to streamline your workflow.
