Wow, I don't know. When I use the shortcut setting, I see nothing but the whole screen, not even a flash of a smaller screen. I'm running VFP 5.0, maybe something changed....

>Thanks for the reply. When I use the run maximized on the shortcut I still see the original small size before it maximizes. Any ideas on how to start in that max size? I also changee the background color from white to dark grey and I see the white flash first.
