VFP forms (including _SCREEN) do not have a minimized property. TO minimize a VFP form, you issue Form.WindowState = 1

But this isn't the problem.

Silvio, if you have a SDI app, make sure that the form's ShowWindow property is set to 2 (As top level form).

Then, to suppress the VFP screen from showing up, you'll need a config.fpw file in the same folder as the exe with the following line in it:

SCREEN=OFF

This file does not have to be distributed with the exe if you include it as a text file in your project.
