>That sounds like overkill. Yes, you can use VFPCOM.DLL to trap events in the ActiveX status bar, but I don't think you can actually use it to solve Wayne's original problem. There isn't an event associated with a change to the status bar text. It should be accomplishable with an assign method on the simpletext property.
