Steve,

> What version of VFP? Since I moved from VFP6 to VFP8, my status bar is completely inconsistant. I think there is either a conflict with the Task Pane Manager, or with intellisense. Pretty frustrating, as I can't tell what line I'm on in a program without doing some fiddling.

See my previous post in this thread. My solution is to type the SET MESSAGE TO command in the command window. This restores proper functioning of the statusbar. BTW: This inconsisent behavior is in VFP 9 as well. Thankfully, SET MESSAGE TO continues to fix this problem.

Does this work for you?
