VFP 9 Status Bar

My VFP9 program starts with a PRG file that sets up menus.
This menus give access to lots of different forms.
In the PRG and in the INIT of some of those forms I call a procedure
that writes some text in the status bar.
When I run the program in a fast network the text that I want to
write in the status bar appears without any problem.

But when I use a very slow network, I first see a message like
"record 40" in the status bar and only after that the text I want
appears in the status bar.
One of the forms in which this happens has a grid that shows data
from a free table. It opens a free table, jumps to the end of the
table.
Is there a way to stop VFP from writing anything at all in the status
bars, so that we can use the status bar to show what ever text we
want?
Thanks in advance

SET TALK OFF

Although, to be perfectly honest I don't use the native status bar because
of unpredictable renegade behaviors like this. I use the MS StatusBar
control.
