>The client wants all their applications re-written (Y2K solution)in Visual 5.0 but...they have to look the same as the old apps. In order to accomplish the 'look and feel' of DOS I have to hide the main FoxPro Window so that the titlebar does not show. I can do this pretty easily with:

Brad,

In the same lines as David Frankenbach, you can also do the same to the main VFP window to remove its title:
With _Screen
  .controlbox=.f.
  .caption=""
  .movable=.f.
  .minbutton=.f.
  .maxbutton=.f.
  .movable=.t.
  .movable=.f.
EndWith
