>>Hello, I'm writing a quit utility app and I would like for the main VFP screen not to be showing when the program is executed. The problem is, whenever I run the exe, my form will not show either. What am I missing?? Thanks in advance for the help.

>>In my config.fpw, I have the following statement:
>>SCREEN = OFF

>>I have my form properties set as follows:
>>ALWAYSONTOP = .T.
>>MDIFORM = .F.
>>SHOWWINDOW = 2 (AS TOP LEVEL FORM)
>>WINDOWTYPE = 0 (MODELESS)
