XPAC displays a status bar across the lower edge of the main workspace:

Status bar

The status bar displays system information, for example, if you hover over a menu item or button on the toolbar, a more detailed description displays. Similarly, if you are viewing a database, the status bar displays the value of the selected cells (for example, an average value).

System and cell data

Depending on the position of your cursor, XPAC displays system information (for example, For Help, press F1) or cell information (for example, the currently selected database record) on the far left of the status bar:

When viewing a database data sheet, XPAC displays cell or cursor values (depending on the function that you are currently using) towards the right of the status bar. You can change the detail of the information that displays by right-clicking the aggregate function and selecting the value type that you want to use:
