>>I have a menu option that lets the user toggle the status bar on or off. When it is off and a form is loaded with DO FORM, messages about the tables in the data environment of the form start displaying on the screen as if TALK was set ON. TALK if off in my application. If I set the status bar on, this doen't happen. How can I suppress the text with the status bar off?

>Ensure you have SET TALK OFF. SET TALK is one of the SET's that is scoped to a particular data session. If your form is using a private data session you must have SET TALK OFF somewhere in the forms DE. I usually use the Init.

Although BeforeOpenTables is the only event that is called before the tables and views are opened.
