Hi, Rick.

>In VFP 6.0 and 7.0 the file path and name, record number, and lock status would appear in the status bar for a table being BROWSEd from the command window. Now this is no longer the case in 8.0. Any ideas on how I can restore this behavior? TIA

It's not a bug, it's a feature! 8-)

Actually, it is a feature I like. Try the new:
Set Notify cursor on/off

Turn it on to be able to see this info again.

Hope this helps,
