>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?

You might also want to check to see if you're calling the form REFRESH() method in your code -- too many calls to it could cause the flashing/blinking of the form. Another item to be careful about would be if you dynamically change the visibility or appearance of objects on a screen.
