Setting the Text Property of the StatusBar

[Robert Dunstan]

Hi all,

How do I go about displaying text in the statusbar?

Basically I have a form with subform which allows the user to record their times against different jobs (frmTimesheet & frmTimesheetDetailsSubform). In the subform the user selects the job they have been working on from a combo box (cboJobNumber). The name of the job is displayed in a text box (txtName) which is disabled and then they record their hours.

Now sometimes the whole name is not displayed because it is too long, hence the reason why I want to display it in the status bar. The subform can have many records as one person can work on more than one job so I need to update the status bar everytime a new job is selected.

Can someone give me an idea of what code I should be using?

Many thanks
Rob

Why not use the Form caption instead?

Thanks Rich

Why didn't I think of that in the first place
