Yeah, apparently I'm the champion of cryptic questions - yet they make sense to me when I'm asking them.
It's a Testing Application and the customers don't want the main VFP desktop showing because of the menus on the top - we have students that will try to use them to get 'behind' the security of Win7. When I inherited the app, the original programmer had put _Screen.Left = -1000 to make it 'disappear'. Unless I take the time to go in and comment/uncomment that line when I have to test it locally and bomb out of it - now I've got my main Window where I can't get to it and it's a PITA and for some stupid reason will carry over to any other VFP window I open.
And, yes I do know that I can disable the menus - but they weren't happy with that.
