>>>I have a single form called from a PRG. It is set up as a top level form. I also set _SCREEN.Visible=.f. at the top of my PRG. The problem is that when I run the executable I create I see the form (with no desktop, as desired) but I have to click on the screen to make it active. I have mostly done FPW apps so I'm not that fluent in the basics of VFP 6. What do I need to add to make the form active?

You could then create a special config.fpw only for that one. ie:
*config.spc
screen=off

myexe -cconfig.spc
