Alec -
Just in case you don't already know a 'config.fpw' is a plain text file which can be included in a project to establish some system level settings when an application/exe is started. About the only thing I use it for is to set (as Bruce suggested) SCREEN = OFF for my SDI ('as top level') forms... Help has some information on the various settings you can include in the config.fpw.
