I agree. If it is a case where you need to get the application out there right away, then the users can live with the overlapping @SAYs and you can spend your time converting the old screens to new forms. Of course, try using a fixed space font as G.F. suggested, but I would spend any more time than that of the old way of doing things.

Good luck.

>Delbert,
> If you are using @SAY and @GET in VFP you are heading down a road of destruction. You need to be creating Forms with Visual FoxPro. In my opinion I would not count on @SAY and @GET being around much longer. Also there is no reason to use these constructs. They are for 2.x compatability only.
