Creation of a Status Bar on a form 1

[zimmer9]

I was thinking of creating a Status Bar at the base of a form. Would a status bar have to be created at the time a form is created or can it be added on after the form has already been created ?

Could you tell me how to create a Status Bar ? My intent is to use the Status Bar to send messages to the user, if for example, errors were made inputting data.

To write message to the Access's statusbar, take a look at:
DoCmd.Echo
Application.SysCmd

Hope This Helps, PH.
