Hi Gerard.

>> Thanks for your help. I've done that and it works fine but it has remove some of the controls (Seem to be Line controls) and I need to do this for about 300 screens !!! <<

Well, since the scx is just another VFP table, why not write a little program to scan all the scx's in the directory and remove the ColorSource reference from the properties memo? It would probably take you all of 20 minutes < s >.
