Erik,

I'm not sure I understand (and the way things have been going to-day, I'm not surprised in the least). A form with it's Desktop set to .T., doesn't appear on the taskbar when minimized. It can be anywhere on the desktop when minimized. A top-level (ShowWindow = 2) will. It's caption seems normal, as does the other (desktop) form. Of course, this was done in design mode. What am I missing here?
