Terry,

Thanks! That seems to do just what I want. don't know how I missed it. I guess I thought the Desktop property only applied to Top Level forms or something. Thanks Again!
Ken

>Hello Ken:
>Create the form with the caption you want to appear in the task bar as a "top level form". You may want to "SCREEN=OFF" in your config.fpw. Create the the child forms as "in top level forms". You may want to make the child form a little smaller than the "parent". Leave the child forms Desktop property false.
