[AccessD] Using progress meter for queries

I don't really recommend messing with the caption of a form because it is
possible that the code could be interrupted and then the form caption is
permanently screwed up - but if you run out of other options, throw this in
a form and give it a run. The effect might be interesting. Of course, you
would never do this on the form time but it is for illustration purposes.

MyCount = MyCount + 1
If MyCount = 1 Or MyCount > 5 Then
  Caption = Chr(8)
  MyCount = 1
Else
  Caption = String(MyCount, Chr(8))
End If
End Sub
Sub Method2()
Static MyCount
Const UPPERLIMIT As Long = 10
MyCount = MyCount + 1
Caption = "Running some code ... " & Chr(8) & Chr(8) & Chr(8) & "  " & _
  IIf(MyCount = UPPERLIMIT, "DONE", Format(MyCount / UPPERLIMIT, "0 %")) & _
  "  " & Chr(8) & Chr(8) & Chr(8)
If MyCount = UPPERLIMIT Then MyCount = 0
End Sub
