>Opened debugger causes GIF very often. Try CLEAR DEBUG and see, if problem re-appears.

This worked for me, too. But does that mean that each and every time I want to run the debugger, I need to issue a CLEAR DEBUG before working with it? Is this any better in VFP 7? I personally didn't get these problems until recently, and a complete reinstall of windows & then VFP didn't help at all.

Thanks.
