Brian,

>Are you suggesting that these dialogs are appearing underneath the top level form of my application?

The dialogs appear "within" the _screen, if the _screen.Visible = .F. the dialogs can't show. If the _screen.Visible = .t., but it's position is outside the viewable postion of the screen the dialogs position themselves in the viewable part of the screen.

I don't think the Export Wizard is a redistributable part of VFP. So you won't be able to use it in the runtime version.

>The dialogs I am trying to invoke were added to my application menu by first creating a 'quick' menu, looking in the menu designer and copying the commands that were produced in the quick menu. (ie. _mfi_pgset for print setup, or _mfi_export for file export).
>
>These commands do work if I run my executable from within the VFP command window but they do not work if I run my executable from the windows desktop. This is what makes me think I am failing to reproduce some aspect of the VFP environment in the environment of my compiled executable.
