Hello Craig

Thank you for your advice, but do you have a solution to the problem?

Yes I am aware of not messing with user defined options i.e. display etc, But the form or app when closed will automatically set every thing back to the default setting. This is Programming 101. I learnt this 18 years ago when I first started programming in FoxPro.

Thanks
