>I know this is dummmmb, but I didn't watch all your messages you posted when talking about splash screens so now I'm having problems deal with it. If I understood well your goal was to make an application that displays splash screen before ( and during loading VFP ) it starts. And that's exactly what I want to make. I designed this splash screen, but can't make it appear before VFP is loaded ( 3.0b ). Is there way how to solve it? Or is that just my imagination there is a way to do it? I don't know C++ like Arnon adviced to program it in it....

All applications splash screen are appearing after the application itself is loading. The same goes with Visual FoxPro. Having a splash screen in Visual FoxPro with SCREEN=OFF will let you make your application look more professional, at startup, without seeing those flashing, like the temporary Visual FoxPro menu before you switch to yours, the setup of your application, etc.

The main concept consist of having SCREEN=OFF in the CONFIG.FPW and having DO FORM SPLASH from the beginning of your master program and having _screen.Visible=.T. after all your setup has been done.
