Is there a way to edit MS-Access 2003 status bar messages?

[Michael R]

I have been looking for posts or help on this but haven't found anywhere.

In a continuous form I have a calculated control, and when I try to edit it, the status bar displays the following message: "Control can't be edited, it's bound to the expression..."

Is there a way to change this message for this specific error and other errors?

Regards.

You can try Trapping the Error and entering your personalized Status Bar Text as follows:

Dim retVal As Variant
Ret = SysCmd(acSysCmdSetStatus, "Customize your Text here!")
 
Dim retVal As Variant
Ret = SysCmd(acSysCmdRemoveMeter)      'removes Status Meter
Ret = SysCmd(acSysCmdClearStatus)         'clears Status Bar Text

Why are you declaring retVal and than using Ret? Also, what Ret stands for?

Thanks.

I apologize, my Error in syntax:

Dim retVal As Variant
retVal = SysCmd(acSysCmdSetStatus, "Customize your Text here!")
 
Dim retVal As Variant
retVal = SysCmd(acSysCmdRemoveMeter)      'removes Status Meter
retVal = SysCmd(acSysCmdClearStatus)         'clears Status Bar Text
