>Is there a way to use our own status bar when running a query? I like the way the status window appears when I have set talk on and run a long query. I don't like the text that appears on my window saying how many records it found, etc... Is there a way to get a status bar without set talk on?

In the files section there are a few thermometers. The one I use is from www.west-wind.com. In a SQL-select you would call a UDF which would update the thermo. Users swear that my queries run faster <s>.
