Bret,

I also believe that you can either have a CONFIG.FPW with a "SCREEN=OFF" or in your application issue a _SCREEN.VISIBLE = .F. or eve _VFP.VISIBLE = .F. . The entry in the CONFIG.FPW will prevent any window in your application from automatically appearing. Usually if you use this, you have to issue the commands to make it appear if you're using the main VFP screen for your application.

That should take care of it as well.
