How do I alter the bottom left corner of Excel which usually displays Ready
or Calculating Cells, to say what I choose while code is running, and then
reset it when done?

Here is how to set the status bar...
Application.StatusBar = "Test"
And here is how to reset it...
Application.StatusBar = ""

It is usually a good idea to have an error handler when you are using this
code to reset the value if the code crashes...

Hi,
To set the status bar to your text use.....

Application.StatusBar = "Your Test"

to revert to normal (Excel controlled) use.....

Application.StatusBar = False

to hide it use .....

Application.DisplayStatusBar = False

Cheers

If you want it to be dead you can use:

And here is how to reset it...
Application.StatusBar = ""


If you want to return control to excel (which is what most people want) you
would use

Application.StatusBar = False

My goof... I grabbed this from a project that I am working on where I want to
keep control of the status bar throughout the execution. I reset the status
bar on error or on exit using

application.statusbar = false

I should really be more careful... Thanks Tom
