Add "do events" to your code and the other events will continue to run.

It seems that you put the progress bar on a UserForm and you display the
UserForm like this:
UserForm.Show.

Unfortunely, in ACAD VBA, UserForm is opend as modal form by default, hence
your program stops until the modal form is closed.

You can
1. open the UserForm as a modeless form if you use AutoCAD 2000i or later.
2. Put your operation executed by the program in the UserForm's
UserForm_Activate( ) event procedure, that is, once the progres bar is
displayed, the process starts. Then when the process finished, unload the
UserForm.
