Weird Status Bar Text Problem

[Brian Smith]

First off, I hope this is the right NG to be asking about this problem.

I have a number of forms which have status bar text assigned to the
controls. Everything seemed to be working fine but now I'm noticing a very
strange problem. I have created a switchboard type form that has command
buttons on it--there is a button to open each of the forms that I want to be
able to open from this form. The forms open up with no problems (basically
used the Wizard to generate the code) but instead of seeing the status bar
text I assigned to the controls I see 'Ready.' If I go into design view and
then back into form view without changing a thing, everything works as it
should. Also, if I open one of the forms directly from the database window
everything works as it should.

Does anyone have any idea of what the problem could be or an easy way to get
rid of 'Ready' and replace it with the status bar text I have assigned to
the control? I've searched Google and Microsoft's Knowledgebase and cannot
find anything that seems to discuss this problem.

Thanks in advance for any insight to this problem. It will be greatly
appreciated.

Brian

Forgot to mention that I'm using Access 2003 just in case this is an
undocumented bug/feature.
