>I have an application written in FPW 2.6 that runs in 2.6 and VFP. I'm
>used to running it in VFP 7.0, uncompiled in VFP. IOW, it runs fine in FPW 2.6 and VFP. I just set up VFP 9.0 on the machine and I've got the application running but the buttons on the FPW 2.6 generated screens
>are colored white. When run in VFP 7.0 and FPW 2.6, the buttons are grey. The backgrounds on the screens are grey or blue. Presently, I'm running this application in the full VFP 9.0 IDE. It's a complex utility.
