I am unable to get that status bar to display in my
startup form.
the tools->startup menu has status bar checked. I have
also programmatically set it using

dbs.Properties("StartupShowStatusBar") = true

but the following commands do nothing.
SysCmd(acSysCmdInitMeter, "hello can u read this ?", 200)
ret_val = SysCmd(acSysCmdUpdateMeter, 30)

Am i missing something ? I can only see the DB record
movement bar at the bottom of the screen. Can I also turn
this off ?

Do you have the Status Bar checked in the Tools - Options -
View menu?

Don't forget that setting the Start Up properties don't take
effect until the next time Access is opened, so setting it
programatically can be confusing.
