I always have this problem ;) What I was trying to say was CreateObject('Form') and DEFINE WINDOW are the same thing under the hood of VFP.
You can CreateObject('FORM') and BROWSE WINDOW 'FORM' instead of having to use the DEFINE WINDOW to do the same thing you are trying to do. With the benefit of createobject('form') giving you complete control over the look/feel.



same thing.
