Thanks Tamar. There will be just a few things I need to do to for the interfact to be able to leave Themes on - so my plan is to re-visit that in a few weeks. But it was nice being able to turn them off so I can finish the debugging and other show stoppers.

>>In moving an app from VFP app that in the past mainly ran on XP but will now run mainly on Windows 7/8, is it better to turn Themes off for the complete app (by using _SCREEN Themes property to False (.F.) to disable Themes entirely in Visual FoxPro.)? This seems to clear up some interface problems with this app running in Windows 7/8 (especially pageframes).
