The Status Bar
Description
Displays the total number of
records in the current table.
While you move among records, counters in the
lower right corner of the ChemFinder window
change to indicate the current record, the current list
size, and the total size of the database. The lower left
corner of the window displays help for menu items
and other information.
When you first open a form, the current list size
equals the total database size. The total database size
changes only when you add or delete records. If you
search to find a subset of the entries in the database,
then the current list size changes to indicate the
number of hits in the search.
To the left of these counters are three other
indicators that show the general status of the
database. The first displays the word “READ” when
you are using a read-only database, such as one that
is on a CD-ROM.
The second indicator displays the word “ADD”
when you are entering a new record.
The third displays “QRY” when you are entering a
query.
To hide or show the Status Bar:
• From the View menu, deselect or choose Status
Bar.
