Paul,

Could have to do with the way VFP is handling the system messages. If I had to hazard a guess, that's probably the problem. Unfortunately, this is outside the realm of my knowledge. Perhaps someone else might have an idea. You might want to post the original VB code, however. There might be something there that might give us more of a clue.
