That was my original thought too, but when I tried it, the "form" at least "seemed" to remain. What I did was set the _SCREEN's visible to .F. via the debug window. When I minimized it, the form was visible, but still contained part of the debugger's appearance. That's why the comment about it not refreshing properly.
