I am running the DoCmd.OutputTo command to create a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet already exists and is currently active on my PC. This causes an error 2302 which I trap and give the user (me) a message and then exit normally. Unfortunately the the Outputting Object and progression bar are left on the Status Bar in the lower left corner of the Access application's window.

I have tried running the SysCmd(acSysCmdClearStatus) several times but the message will not go away. I have use the SysCmd(acSysCmdSetStatus, "This is a test") which places the message "This is a test" in the Status Bar but when I run the SysCmd(acSysCmdClearStatus) my message goes away but the "Outputting Object" and progression bar are still then even if I repeatedly run the ClearStatus command.

Does any one know how to clear the status message from the Status Bar when the message is created by the DoCmd.OutputTo command?

Try adding Err.Clear before you exit.
