Harry:

Use a CONFIG.FPW file for the application and enter:

SCREEN=OFF

You will need to make sure that your forms ShowWindow property is either:

1 - In Top-level Form
2 - As Top-level Form

or the form will default to the main VFP window which will not be visible!

You can accomplish the same thing in code with the following line as well:

_VFP.Visible = .F.

however this will *flash* the main VFP window which may be undesirable.

Hope this helps!
