>The app I am working on has a main window in which the main 'thing' runs, and spawns child windows for other things like setting stuff up, or getting reports, etc. When a child window opens it 'flashes' before the content of the window is displayed, and it looks unprofessional, not to mention that it is irritating as heck. Any solution to that?

John,
do all your 'child'forms behave like that? If so would you be able to construct a testform, also with this behavior and upload it here,class or form, whatever you use, you can zip the .scx + .sct or .vcx +.vct and attach here.
