In addition, most frameworks create what they call an applicaiton object from their own application class. This handles things that the framework needs and is different than and not related to the _VFP object. I hope this doesn't sound too confusing.

Thanks Craig for your answer... it helps alot...

One more question if you don't mind?
How do you get rid of the caption area in a form window?
I am trying to have some basic information on a form and
using a "more information" command button, I would like to call another
form that shows more information. Everything works but the caption
border area looks like another form and not a continuation of the same
form.
