Larry,

You've already got your answer for the back color. Here's how to add a picture. I do this in my startup program which is called from Config.FPW.

_SCREEN.BACKCOLOR = 15113676

_SCREEN.ADDOBJECT([MyPic], [Image])
_SCREEN.MyPic.PICTURE = ;
    [C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Pictures\MyPicture.BMP]
_SCREEN.MyPic.TOP = 150 && Adjust to center
_SCREEN.MyPic.LEFT = 300 && Adjust to center
_SCREEN.MyPic.VISIBLE = .T.

>I know this is probably easy to do, I've just never done it. How do you add color to the main FoxPro screen (under the menu, before any screen forms are activated).
