SYMPTOMS
After you have opened an object, such as a query or a form, the status bar
continues to display the message "Calculating..."
CAUSE
You are using the Quiet Logo Microsoft Office Assistant.
RESOLUTION
There are two ways to refresh the text in the status bar:
- Click outside the Microsoft Access application window; then return to
the Microsoft Access window by clicking on it. For example, you can
accomplish this by clicking the taskbar, and then clicking the Microsoft
Access window.
- Minimize and then restore the Microsoft Access application window.
You can avoid this problem entirely by using a different Microsoft Office
Assistant.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access 97.
