Yes, you can do this. But, be aware that you may run into missing reference issues on other machines. Using ActiveX controls is problematic at times as not everyone may have certain controls registered or even have them. Or, on their system they may be in a different folder (which then requires the missing reference fix).
Now, that being said, You would click on INSERT / ACTIVEX CONTROL and then select Microsoft StatusBar Control, if you have it available in the list. I have VB6 and VS.NET installed on my machine as well as Access so I have more controls showing available than the normal user of Access. That's why I said you have to know whether the control is even on the user's machine. So, if you have it available YOU can use it. Make sure others do too before trying to use it or you will give yourself trouble.
To use the status bar, you insert it and then you can add panels by double clicking on it and clicking on the panels tab. To access the panels via code (to set the status messages) you would use:
