Margaret,

>I have uninstalled VFP and Visual Studio, reinstalled VFP, reinstalled the service packs 3 & 4, fixed the builder code as you suggested in your earlier message and the builders for the forms still start echoing the entire VFP environment to the screen and it doesn't stop until I run the main program for the project. The scrolling stops when the project login screen loads.>

It sounds like a SET TALK issue...are you getting the problem in both the development and runtime environments? You mentioned that builders seem to cause the problem...which builders?

Regards,
