YOu can specify your own bmp with:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Vfp98\Vfp6.exe -bC:\Mydir\Mybmp.bmp

I am almost reluctant to reveal this, because I think the client should see the VFP screen, so you can reveal to them how powerful a product VFP really is and that their preconceptions are dead wrong.
