>I also tried Application.Visible = .F. in the myform Init, but then my myform does not appear too. Thanks for the help. I also played with the ShowWindow property and would do a Build .EXE after each test to see the results upon running the .EXE.

And what were those results? If ShowWindows was 2 (Top Level) it should have worked. If you want to display a form on teh desktop and hide the main VFP screen, you need to use a Top Level Form. To hide the app you can either do _screen.Hide() or to aviod the flickering of the screen add SCREEN=OFF to your config.fpw file.
