the problem I'm having is putting a progressbar in my application. alot of people have there own way of doing this to there applications. but when it comes to figuring out how to..and when to... is a whole lot different. for instance i have this code can you tell me where and what I need to do to put it in.

Private Sub cmdCopy_Click()
   Dim fso As New Scripting.FileSystemObject
    Dim fld As Folder
    cmdCopy.Caption = "Copying Folder!"
    Set fld = fso.GetFolder(txtSourceOfFolder)
    fld.Copy (txtDestinationOfFile)
    cmdCopy.Caption = "Finished Copying"
End Sub

i have tried alot of ways but never worked so i have deleted them. now im back to square one again. i don't know how. or understand how to do any kind of "loops". when i looked at your example i didn't know where to put my code at. because i am still learning visual basic. so i have made the cmdbutton tell me whats going on.
