Hi
I have been working with vfp for about 3 weeks now. I love how easy it is
to get at your data and work with it. But the UI is killing me. Here is what
I want:

1. Foxpro window to disappear. I do not want my users to know anything about
vfp. As far as thier concern it is just an exe the are running. So I don't
want vfp to show itself.
A. If I set SCREEN=OFF in the config file everything disappears. VFP as
well as my form.

2. I want to be able to use my own menu. I have created a menu and I code a
DO mainmenu.mpr right before I open my window with a DO FORM mainform.scx.
I push _MSYSMENU at the very start. When I do see my form by deleting
the _SCREEN=OFF, I have no menu.

3. When I go to quit it turns into a nitemare.

I have bought 3 books. And they have explain VFP piece by piece. But none
of them give you a clue on what it takes to turn VFP off put up your main
window and menu, and god forbid I still have to put up the toolbar. I suppose
all of this is easy if you know how. If I could just get VFP to the point where
I have VFP hiden my main window up with a menu I would proably go out and
get drunk, and I have never been drunk in my life. I am really desperate.
I have program in 2 or 3 different languages over the last 15 years but VFP
is getting the best of me. Please If you can help, do. Here is the code of
my main program.

* This is the main start up file - mc2.prg
* Aurther: John Marrone Jr
* Date: Dec 15, 2001
* Langauge: VFP 7.0
