Hi Lance,

There are a couple of ways to do this. Vlad Tatavu has code here that will do this, or you could use my Is_Run32() function to check for the main form's title bar. That's also available in the download section. I prefer to use the technique I wrote about in the Nov. 98 issue of FoxPro Advisor. The URL is http://www.advisor.com/wArticle.nsf/wArticles/FA9811.TASKG05. There's also an update posted there as well. (http://www.advisor.com/wArticle.nsf/wArticles/FA9811.TASKG05UD).

I'd suggest that you examine all three methods and choose the one you like best.
