Yes C.D. there is. Browse's when clause.

browse .... name "myBrowse" when SetMyBrowse()

function SetMyBrowse
with myBrowse
*Set properties
endwith

When would fire each time you move record pointer so if it's a problem you could initialize a variable to fire property settings once :

lPropsSet = .f.
browse .... name "myBrowse" when !lPropsSet and SetMyBrowse()

function SetMyBrowse
with myBrowse
*Set properties
endwith
lPropsSet = .t.

>>Mixing browse object and define window. They're separate and as Ed said you could use a form instead of window.
>>To be able to manage a browse like a grid use "NAME" clause as you guessed :
>>

use home()+"samples\data\employee"
>>browse name "myBrowse" nowait
>>with myBrowse
>>  .scrollbars = 2
>>  .AllowRowSizing = .f.
>>  .Setall("DynamicBackColor","iif(recno()%2=0,255^3,255^2)","column")
>>*...

Browse is one of the most powerfull commands of FP but yet try to shift towards using grid. In some aspects it's more powerfull (and lacking compared to browse in a minor set - like when, valid events behaviour).
