Steve, does it help to explicitly call "thisform.show()" at the end of the INIT code?

>I have a form with several textboxes on it. Ever since I added SCREEN=OFF to the config.fpw file which turns off the main VFP window when my form appears, the backcolor is green. When I click on the textbox the backcolor changes to white which is what it is supposed to be according to the textbox properties. This did not happen prior to my setting SCREEN=OFF.
