Unfortunately, it's not an easy problem. You should assign statusbartext to all your controls, you should place set message to "Your message" in lots of places and still you would find out, that these ugly VFP messages try to show. In one form it was getting on my nerves, so I placed set message to thisform.caption in PageFrame.Click, Page.Click, Form.Click, etc. Seems like I finally won, but it was not an easy battle :)
