One of my apps works like it sounds you want yours to work. My main program calls a login screen, which is shown all by itself on the desktop. In the Init method of that login form, I have Application.Visible = .F. which hides the main Foxpro window. My config.fpw has a SCREEN=OFF in it as well. I had trouble getting it all to work, but this is the combination that seems to do it. After returning a successful login, I change Application.Visible = .T., execute my main menu, and issue the READ EVENTS. The READ EVENTS is in my main (default) program.
Hope this helps.
