>I have a form which the first time my .exe runs or if it runs with a password table empty should have a showwindow property of 2 but most OF THE times the showwindow property should just be in 1 when the password table is not empty and i would just like to populate it. The problem is that showwindow property is readonly. can i override it becuase when the form's showwindow property would only be at 1 a small foxpro window appears whenever i run it for the first time or if password table is empty.

ShowWindow is readonly at runtime. You can subclass the form and call one or the other depending on the contents of your table.
