Removing status bar text after using a form field

[Guest]

Hi Everyone,

I have a doc with form fields that moves from a protected section into an
unprotected section. When the cursor moves into the unprotected section of
the doc the status bar still displays the text from the previous (protected)
field.

How can I reset the status bar so that it does not display this text.

Thank you in advance.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?RGVEZQ==?=,

I have a doc with form fields that moves from a protected section into an
unprotected section. When the cursor moves into the unprotected section of
the doc the status bar still displays the text from the previous (protected)
field.

How can I reset the status bar so that it does not display this text.

You could assign a macro to the "On Exit" property of this last (or any/all)
form field that empties the status bar (or sets it to any text you like). What
you can't do is force it to return to the default display - but that should
occur as soon as the user starts working.

Sub ClearStatusBar()
Application.StatusBar = ""
End Sub
