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?

Mike - thanks for the recommendation. It looks like hiding all the open "desktop = .t." forms just prior to previewing the report and then SHOWing the forms in inverse HIDE order will work.
