Hi John,

The very small status bar in Access2003 was for me the reason to make
my own status bar form.
Though the status bar form is fully functional, I am still doing some
– low priority –experimentation.
An own status bar form gives many possibilities in appearance, color
effects, multiple bars, etc. On this moment I am working on a
downcounting digital clock.
Some work still have to be done on optimization. If you have only 10
records (or 10 other items) to process, you can update the status bar
after every record (or other item). But how to handle 1.000.000
records? What if you have only 10 items to process, but each item has
a subprocess of varying duration?

But all interesting topics to discus.

I don't care for the syscmd method as it is relatively small and
relatively easy for the user to miss.

I do like the text box because it's much bigger and obvious.
