Bruce,

SCREEN=OFF in your config.fpw file should do the trick in VFP5. In VFP3 you'll need to _screen.Visible = .f. early on in the app.

>The exe works, but of course I get the ugly VFP application window. What I want is a faceless app that just does its job without any yucky screen draws. The -T option doesn't work, and SCREEN=OFF in CONFIG.FPW doesn't work either. Anybody have a magic pill for me?
