I don't know if you can change the message, but you can make Fox display a progress bar while a query is running. Try this:

DEFINE WINDOW dummy FROM 0,0 TO 1,1
SET TALK WINDOW dummy
SET TALK ON
SELECT... && Put your SELECT SQL statement here
SET TALK OFF
RELEASE WINDOW DUMMY

This worked in Fox 2.x but I have not tried it with VFP. For a custom mesage you could try giving the dummy window a TITLE and see what happens. If the query is fast the progress bar will not be displayed, however.
