Thank you Colin and Cetin,

All the things which you suggested, I was doing. The problem turned out to be that I had a CONFIG.FPW included in my project under text files, and this was thwarting my efforts to remove the Visual FoxPro Splash screen. I have to have a separate CONFIG.FPW so that my win32api calls work to detect the app already running.

Now that I have removed this CONFIG.FPW file, it all works fine!!
