>>see the VFP Help on "Set Talk" What I have done in the past is define a dummy window that is never shown and "Set Talk Window DummyWindow" This way I do not use the status bar, but with set talk on I still get the SQL progress bar but all other output gets redirected to the dummy (unseen) window.

How are you "sending" messages in your application? MessageBox? Wait Window? I do not understand what would direct messages to a window except during runtime.
