Thanks for the reply. I didn't even use the debug and also, yes, got the same thing while within VFP and also on a different PC running the exe. Right now, I handed the whole project (zipped) to MS, lets wait and see ;o)

>You could try refreshing each of the buttons individually. Have you tried executing without the debugger and outside of VFP, just executing your app. Do you still get inconsistent results then? Sometimes when i get inconsistent results it can be caused by the debugger because the debugger window takes focus away from the app and then puts focus back on the app, so the debugger does not always give a true picture.
