It gives a work-around that truly works. You'd never guess the source of the problem: the BackgroundColor of the window from which the prg is invoked . . . .

Craig:

No argument from this side, especially since they have known about this bug, aka f*** up, since VFP 3.0. Or maybe they thought it was intuitive that the BackColor of a window had to be white if using @...SAY . . .??

Again, I really appreciate your help, not only on this, but on several other issues that you have bailed me out of.
