the newer VFP, 8 and 9, both use the xp look so i'd imagine that it is probably pushing the boundaries of what older setups can view.

>Our application is potentially used in a wide variety of environments that could be any combination of the clients and servers you mentioned. What I cannot understand is why did the application work fine when compiled with VFP6 and now looks terrible in VFP8 and VFP9? Does this have anything to do with GDI/+? Do these latter versions of VFP paint forms any differently than VFP6?

>>>I tried the SYS(602,0) function to turn off screen bitmaps. It is on by default. This appears to solve the issues with the buttons' images, however, our forms have a gradient background that now goes blank (solid white) when switching applications and coming back. Also, the gradient effect in not a smooth transition of colors and there appears to be more "flickering" going on.
