Hi,

I have a status bar called statusbar1.

in the first panel i have this:

USER - <currentUser>


where <currentUser> is a variable that contains a string.

How do i make it so USER is in black forecolor, and my variable is in red?

Thanks

oh, also i had another question. Totally unrelated but it's better than reposting i guess.

How do i eliminate the quotes when i insert a string variable into my sequential file?

when i do this i get quotes around everything in the file.

OPEN "log.txt" FOR OUTPUT AS #1
WRITE #1,currentUser
CLOSE#1

currentUser contains a string.

Thanks again!

maybe you should try
currentUser = replace(currentUser, chr(34),"")

chr(34) is quote symbol

About the text in the statusbar, you can't change the text color. You have only 1 font setting for all texts on all panels.

Use the Print statement instead of the Write statement
