Hi Sylvain,

>Every time I run a PRG, the &^$% status bar display turn off. What I mean is that if I open a table, it won't show me the informations about the table (number of records, etc.), it stick with "Standard" displayed all the time.
>
>The only way to unfreeze it is to run SET STATUS BAR ON. I'm sick and tired of running this everytime. Is there a way to make the status bar behave correctly without SET STATUS BAR ON after each PRG run?

This is happening because many of the APP tools (Code References, Class Browser, etc...) are using the _VFP.StatusBar property to update the status bar text. When they are done or loose focus, they set it to empty string:
_VFP.StatusBar = ""
This completely disables the status bar text for cursors and also affects displaying line numbers for source code. As you notice, issueing SET STATUSBAR ON clears it. SET MESSAGE TO will clear it also.

This is very annoying but at least you know where it is coming from. And... we have the source code to change it. If you have time and want to fix it, go out to VPFX (www.codeplex.com/vfpx) and post it for everyone. Or send me the modified source files and I'll check them in and do a build.
