I have been using VFP7 since it was released and I have had none of these problems. I'm using it on Windows 2000 SP3 and also Windows XP Professional.

Sorry I could not help. What OS version (do you you have all available support packs installed?) are you running?
What version of Internet Explorer? Install IE6 with all patches.
Use a new, different foxuser.dbf with VFP7 than the one used with VFP6.

>Hi all,
>I just wanted to toss out a few issues I've run into in VFP 7 and see if any of you have run into them, or have any ideas.
>
>1) Menu changes size vertically seemingly at will.
>I have a custom menu and sometimes a blank menu bar will appear below the main menu bar for no apparently good reason.. This of course messes with my resizing code since the available screen real estate just went down. It appears to happen when the user uses the shift key. After a while it seems to go back to normal as well.

>2) Forms aren't refreshing.
>In my app I have a form that is always on bottom and just displays information. At times this form doesn't seem to refresh properly. Even when it obtains focus. Even minizing and maximizing fox doesn't cause it to display properly. I'm not doing anything manually with the refreshing code.

>3) C0000005 Error
>Are you folks getting this still? I'm running SP 1 and at times VFP will just take a dive. It's happened twice in the last few days. The last time was particularly annoying since I had been working on this form for a few hours. 95% finished, and had been saving periodically. Foxpro generates a C000005 Error & crashes. I relaunch fox, and my form is toast. 4 hours down the tubes. I could deal with the loss of data since my last save, but the whole thing got corrupted, I tried to salvage some of it by using at as a table, but this didn't help much. I've also run into several different Internal Consistency Errors. This aren't as often, but do happen.. I would suspect bad hardware, but this is the 3rd machine I've been working on in the last few months with the same behavior.
