Thanks Gord,

I had the feeling it was not something that could be achieved in VBA.

You are still misreading.

Status Bar is not the TaskBar.

I think the only way is to AutoHide the Taskbar

You're right, I did misread your question...

To turn the StatusBar off, give it a blank value...
Application.StatusBar = False

To put the StatusBar back to normal
Application.StatusBar = False

These would go in procedures. You asked your question in the
'Programming'
forum so I'm assuming you are a bit familiar with programming in VBA. ???
