Hi All,
I have the following situation (simplified for this posting):
I have created a new instance of excel which is performing some
actions
that take a few minutes. I would like to have a variable (just an
integer or string perhaps - doesn't really matter which) that is
updated in that instance that I can then access from the first
application object to give the user progress information.
Example:
In the main application:
NewExcel is an Excel.application object (new)
I would like to be able to do something like this:
Application.Statusbar = NewExcel.ProgressCounter
Within the NewExcel Application:
Sub CodeStuff()
Dim ProgressCounter as Integer
Rem Start of code
Rem Do stuff
ProgressCounter = 1
Rem Do more stuff
ProgressCounter = 2
Rem Blah Blah
End Sub
Within the main application, the statusbar would be showing 1, 2, 3
etc as the NewExcel application make progress.
However, I cannot work out how to access the value of ProgressCounter
from within the main excel application - any ideas?
Hope that makes sense!
Thanks,
Alan.
