I program in Lotus Notes, myself (we're
supposed to be switching to "something else" -- have been "supposed to" for going on four years now -- and I wish we'd get on with it, actually. I want to go to an relational back-end with a VBasic interface, as it happens), so I have some idea what you mean, kfarmer.
I'm sympathetic with the problem, but the fact remains that I've been trained by Windows to take status bars well salted.
