>>>>I my VPF 3.0/5.0/6.0 config.fpw I have this code "F2="_SCREEN.Picture='';". It resets the background DE to nothing, removing any splash screens. I have tried this in my VFP 7.0 config.fpw and it does not work. I get the OPEN PICTURE dialog box looking for a graphics file, but yet, it does work in the Command Window? ? ?

>Sorry, I missread your post. F2 works fine in this case but the Open Picture dialog is result of intellisence kicking in. The same happend when you type _SCREEN.Picture= in the command window. You can disable it by removing a corresponded line from foxcode.dbf

Use (_foxcode)
>Delete for abbrev = ".Picture"
>Use

Just remember that you disable it for command window and when you type code in the editor also.

Thank - - - That took care of it. . .
