>I had a small app that just copied some files from one location to a specified location. I set _VFP.visible to .F. so that the only thing on the screen is a messagebox and the open dialogue box after issuing a GETFILE. This worked great with VFP 3. In VFP6 the open dialogue box appears in the task bar as 'open' but you cannot see it on the screen or get to it. It works when I set _vfp.visible to .T., but then the ugly VFP screen comes up. The app consists of 4 small .prg's and no forms. How can I get this to work again? Thanks for your help.

It's up to you to make main screen completely 'transparent' (no caption, no title band etc.) and then probably you really may restore it temporarily.
