The print preview window has focus and can be moved around the screen and it can be closed. The VFP form sits in front of the print preview window and it cannot receive focus. And it cannot be moved. Is there a recommended set of form properties that addresses situations like this for Vista?

Thanks Mike. I'll check that out. Based on the hoop jumping to deal w/ the Vista window titlebar issues, i just finished commenting out KEYBOARD CTRL+F10 commands that would maximize the PRINT PREVIEW window for the user. Using that KEYBOARD command with the form settings noted above, the FoxPro form window would expand (not the print preview window) to fill the screen, blocking the print preview entirely. And because the non-maximized foxpro window would not receive focus, the task manager would see lots of action. I'm amazed that MSFT has not addressed this. Hopefully they have and i havent stumbled upon the solution yet.
