>>Tanks !! The empty string does the trick. now it does't display record status but still, when i run a REQUERY(), i get the message "selected nn records in nn seconds" on the status bar. How do i also prevent this to show ?

>Doesn't SET TALK OFF do the trick for that one?

No it does not, but hey, i just did a small test, i added SET TALK OFF in my BeforeOpenTable Event of My DataEnvironment and it doesn't show. I am using private data sessions. My form base class contains a SET TALK OFF but i guess i should put it somewhere else since it doesn't work. Where should i issue this SET TALK OFF command ?

Tanks.
