>>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.

>That sounds right. I know that simply moving a form doesn't call for it to be repainted, which is essentially what .LockScreen does (keeps it from being repainted). Maybe it has something to do with the Video driver you're using in conjunction with the complexity of the form.

Might be. At this point I'm not going to put more time into it unless something changes. Thanks for the input.
