>>>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 ?

>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 ?

I suspected you might have PDS -- how about the load() or init() of the instance...
