>>>If you don't want the screen to show at all, then you're pretty much stuck with the config.fpw and SCREEN = OFF. If the issue is one of having to distribute the config.fpw with the executable, you can get around this by including the config.fpw in the project. This will compile any settings in the config.fpw directly into the executable. Maybe VFP6 will have another option...

hi Curtis and thanks for answering...
What I wanted to do is to put SCREEN = OFF in the program code instead of the
CONFIG.FPW. I can see that is not possible in vfp50. :)
