>In my application executable, I keep the status bar on (mainly because early on I noticed some quirky behavior -- can't recall what, though -- when it was kept off). Though I keep TALK, NOTIFY, etc. set OFF, in some places I get undesired status messages, usually (maybe exclusively) info on the currently selected table, e.g. "Record: 1/1 Record Unlocked". I really can't see any reason this should happen, but when and where it does, it's consistent. I could also swear, in some cases, that I've seen such messages on clients' computers, where they DON'T appear on my machine, running the exact same executable.

Make sure you SET TALK OFF, etc in your MAIN.PRG. Also, SET TALK is scoped in Private Data Sessions.
