Subject Re: SPEEDTIP From Lee Grant <camilee@nospam.comcast.net> Date Mon, 11 Jan 2021 22:50:41 -0500 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Ivan, In addition to what Gaetano points out with his code, I followed up trying to make it behave more like a true statusmessage, by release it using this total code to display it and also to remove it from displaying in the status bar.     function STOPTIMER_PB_onMouseOut(flags, col, row)        this.statusmessage = ""        return     function STOPTIMER_PB_onMouseOver(flags, col, row)        this.statusmessage = this.speedtip        this.setfocus()        return The focus still stays on the object, especially a pushbutton, until you move to another control in your app, or the IDE to take the focus elsewhere, at least it won't be hanging on in the status bar and confusing users.
