How to display status

R

I have a long running form that runs a number of queries. I want to
display what query is running. Is there a way to put that information
in the status bar? If I put it on the form, how do I get it to update
the display immediately?

TIA

Use Echo to put a message in the status bar.

If you write it to a text box or label on your form, force it to display
with:

You can use the SysCmd function to place a text string in
the status bar.
