how to change the words on form status bar?

[techexpressinc]

I like to change the words on the status bar. From the plan "Form View" to something like Version 1.0 or Copyright 2011.
How would I do that I am trying, but not getting there using SysCmd.

I am updating the "On Load - Event "
i.e.

Private Sub Form_Load()
   DoCmd.Maximize
   SysCmd (715)

The 715 was to return the Access version, nothing happen.

And I tried this:
- SysCmd(4,<"Copyright 2011">)
and
this:
- SysCmd(4,"Copyright 2011").

This worked for me:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim RetVal As Variant
RetVal = SysCmd(acSysCmdSetStatus, "Copyright 2011")
End Sub

Application.SysCmd acSysCmdSetStatus, "What you want to say in the Status area"

Thanks for the update. I did try the Application object but couldn't get syntax right so went with the other. Don't remember why it wouldn't work, looks so simple!
