Subject RE: STATUS MESSAGE From Mustansir Ghor <mustan31@hotmail.com> Date Mon, 25 Mar 2019 12:46:51 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Dear Andy Thanks. But status bar does not appear in exe as it shows in IDE. When I test in IDE it display the status message. Could this be because of  shell( false, false ) in statup program.
