Don't know, Al. I know he's going to check this thread this morning. Maybe he'll tell us. If I had to guess, I probably say that there isn't one in the config, but take that fwiw...nothing.

In thinking about this, I'm wondering if, indirectly, the way VFP handles its graphic objects has anything to do with this. It's a reach, to be sure, since he's not running anything other than VFP. Still, it'd be a concern if only for the reason that I'd guess that VFP may do some setup work involving the GDI to facilitate the output that it "anticipates". Again, just a guess.
