>Cy,

just in case you need it. in the init of your form, or the redraw event....
here is a little trick - or workarround I also have used.
_screen.lockscreen=.f.
_screen.width=this.width-15
_screen.left=this.left+5
_screen.height=thisform.height-175
_screen.top=this.top+5
_screen.visible=.t.

So even if the screen becomes active, its always behind my main menu.
