Alvison,
We have a little language problem here :) Hard to decipher your properties.
Instead of trying to calculate percentage use min and max properties of progressbar control. ie: If you would end up in 15 mins :

* Start pbar
with thisform.Pbar
 .Min = 0
 .Max = 15*60*1000 && 15*60 secs each 1000 msecs
 .myTimer.Enabled = .t.
endwith
*Timer event
with thisform.pBar
 .Value = .Value + this.Interval
 if .Value >= .Max && Reached end
  this.Enabled = .f.
  * do whatever
 endif
endwith
