My application is a 'Wizard' style and I use the Status bar to show messages about stages in the process. It's very effective.

I have one problem with the bar.

I have tried to clear the bar when my app starts and shows its main screen but I cannot prevent the usual message when a table is being opened.

I have the SET STATUS = '' as the last line in my form's init method.

When debugging at that point it goes straight from there to the displayed screen.

Any ideas anyone?

We have only rudimentary control over the native status bar, but I *think* you need SET NOTIFY CURSOR OFF.
 
Thanks Dan - perfect - looks much cleaner and my messages still show later.
