access form - add text to status bar

[Rousseau10]

I want to add text to status bar from code.
I was looking for, (in an access form)
me.statusbartext, I know this property exists but how do I set it?

Rousseau.

Application.StatusBar = "Please be patient..."

put it in whatever event you'd like to kick it off:

Me.StatusBarText = "My text"

See StatusBarText Property in Access help.

I'm not sure what you mean by statusbar, two things come to mind, the title bar at the top, which you can address through:

[tt]me.caption = "my new form title"[/tt]

or the Access statusbar, which you can play with using syscmd

[tt]varreturn=syscmd(accsyscmdsetstatus,"this is a test")[/tt]

arguements for InitMeter, RemoveMeter, UpdateMeter...

Or are you thinking of using the statusbartext property of controls? That would be displayed whenever a control has focus, but I don't think there is one for forms. Hint - what you put in the description part in the table design view, will usually be displayed in the statusbar when a control has focus (inherited to forms).

(hmmm - application.statusbar, is that Access? Is it perhaps present in 2003?)
