No ActiveX controls or shapes, just VFP textboxes and a pageframe. Neither the form level textboxes or anything on a pageframe page show. Draw() doesn't do anything either.

I forgot to mention that something like ? date() will display the date on the form as well as DISPLAY STATUS. These seem to show at least some painting taking place, but not the controls.

It's an odd thing to deal with.

>>Hi,
>>I have a real puzzler. Of the >230 forms (classes) in our application, one form sometimes comes up blank, no visible controls. Not always, just sometime. I can enter and save data, etc., because I know where to tab to, but the form is blank.
