The text boxes contain information relative to my application which is updated as the application runs. I am having a problem locating the bottom of the FoxPro screen. My custom Status Bar seems to 'float' an inch or two over the Win95 Status Bar. It seems that I am not able to get an accurate reading from _screen.Height to correctly position the custom Status Bar.


Have you looked at the status bar OCX that ships with VFP?
