Hi Lutz,

Compatibility mode for W7 didn't solve the issues, but for XPsp3 indeed did. However, in XP compatibility mode my 'net use' drive letters were no longer seen by vfp!

Then I saw another checkbox on the Properties sheet. I don't know the English wording, so I attach a picture that shows you the location. It will be something like 'Disable Modify Screen in case of high DPI-settings'. Checking this box had a good effect. There no longer was a need to choose a compatibility mode. I even could go back to my combination of resolution 2048x1152 and 150%. Now it's a matter of personal preferences.

Thank you for your input!

(Hope that is the right word, The Win 8.1 comp is in the hand of the kids for the moment and I can not remember the right naming in german ...) Be carefull with this, if you choose wrong all windows of vfp may be moved outside _SCREEN. (Properties, command etc)

>>Both this partial report display and the other issue I reported (Dragging causes a ghost rectange, Message#1592055) are related to the setting of the screen resolution. Rightclick on the desktop and choose 'Screen Resolution'. In my case it was set to 2048x1152. Moreover, I had chosen for enlargement of all items to 150 percent.
>>When I set these to 1600x900 and 125 percent (normal), the issues are gone.

Probably that code needs a revision for the repair of the report issue. The other issue is typically vfp. A repair via any vfpx project is unlikely.
