>>(sigh) Yeah, I'm using DO FORM, and I thought about that, but it would take some large changes in the framework for that app. At this point I don't want to make those kind of changes. With some more testing, I learned that it only happens to some forms, really only one at this point. This has confused me because the form is basically the same as the others in its basic characteristics. At this point, unless something jumps out at me, I'm gonna let the sleeping dog sleep.

>Nothing wrong with DO FORM. Just a personal opinion, but I don't think that there's anything inherently better by creating the form as an object. DO tends to be faster, but you can do some things with an object before it's displayed that you couldn't easily do otherwise.

Yep. I went thru setting the Visible prop drill. Same result on this puppy. BTW, I found out from the Help ( if I'm reading it right ) that Lockscreen is essentially ignored when objects ( e.g. forms ) are Moved. If so, that means you can't set _SCREEN.LOCKSCREEN = .T., move forms, etc. then _SCREEN.LOCKSCREEN = .F. like doing refreshes in a form. The _SCREEN would be locked but not the objects floating above/in(?) it.
