Hi Steve,

>It happened to me when I took the files to work at another office yesterday. So that pretty much rules out the computer and the video card. And it happens in most complex forms that I design. Even across different projects (totally different files).

I have this happen on a few of my forms. Most of my forms do not have this happen. (I've rebuilt them from scratch and haven't yet found the cause.) Usually, it only happens when the property window is also open. If I move the property window over the form, drag it and put it back without stopping, I can get the form to repaint. If I'm careful not to touch the form with the property window, it will stay displayed. Fun, huh?!?

I've tested the forms on Win95, Win98, and WinNt, different Video cards, same behavior. I thought it had to do with having a shape located at Top=0 and Left=0. That "fixed" it for one of the forms, but not the others. Please pass along any discoveries you make/receive.
