>>>Anybody got experience with Colors? I have a database with colors as integers that I need to display the colors. The problem is they are RGB and not ARGB. When I use Color.FromArgb(int) I get a different color. If I try to break out the colors using color.A, color.R, color.G, and color.B I get values in the alpha part that I assume should be 255 if anything.

Cool, glad you found it. BTW... I think VFP uses the xBGR format.

? RGB(1,0,0) = 1
? RGB(0,1,0) = 256
? RGB(0,0,1) = 65536
