This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
Most of the issues in Vista and Win7 are due to UAC. Doug Hennig wrote a paper on dealing with them, but I don't have the URL handy.

> It appears that setting _SCREEN.Themes to .F. is sufficient, because I changed the Form.Themes to .F. and there was no difference between this form and other forms whose .Themes setting I had not changed. The problem seems to be entirely caused by changing the settings in the control panel.
