Reset Statusbar Text

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

In a previous post I found a workaround for an issue with the statusbar text
defaulting to "Ready" after focus returns from a form opened as acDialog.
The solution was to create a form with no controls and open and close it
(normal) after the dialog form is closed. This works fine for dialogs I open
programmatically, but not if the user opens the built-in Zoom form via
Shift+F2. I've tried to use the KeyUp event with Key Preview set to Yes to
intercept the command, but to no avail.

Any ideas?

BTW - I'm using 2000RT.
