Tony,

I've often wondered about this myself. One way would be to create your own status bar by adding your own custom form or toolbar to your project and activating this form at application startup time.

If you use a form, then you would need to set its AlwaysOnBottom property to True. If you use a toolbar, you would want to dock it to the bottom of your screen.

I'm sure there are a lot more issues to overcome, but these ideas might get you going.

Other ideas:

- Check out the MS StatusBar ActiveX control (warning - I've heard this is a difficult beast to tame)

- I believe Foxpro Advisor had a feature article some time over the past 2 years that describes how to make your own custom status bar

Good luck and let us know what you come up with!
Malcolm
