>>Hello Evan, I must have not made myself clear. The error box that is blacked out is the one VFP puts up not me. Say you go to your command line and type 'CUBS WIN'. You will get (or should get) a VFP error box come up that states 'Unrecognized Command Verb' with two buttons that are OK and HELP. Well what some of my developers get and this is only sometimes is a box that is blacked out where the message should be. So they cant tell what the error was and this makes it hard to debug. Hope this clears it up.

From another life long Cub Fan. I have to agree. I am still hoping that before I pass from this world that they will put together 4 or 5 winning seasons and maybe a World Series. But then I program in VFP which proves that I do root for the underdog.
