>How do I disable the VFP screen from showing up during the first few seconds that the app starts up. Before the using the Framework I simply set a Top-level form and included the SCREEN=OFF command in Config.fpw before building the EXE. When I do this in the framework, NOTHING appears on the screen and the app seems to shut itself down.
