>Hi - I have used Foxpro 2.6a for DOS for about 3 years now, writing utilities and data manipulation programs that just run from a .PRG file and output the occasional WAIT WINDOW.
>But now I am wanting to write a program that opens up a screen on the desktop and has a close button and a couple of options and a button to call the main .PRG program. Can anyone give me some ideas of how to achieve this ie. working with screens etc. Any sites that have example code would be great also.

>Many thanks...
Check the help texts about "foundation read" - I am don't remember for sure whether you reach them from the READ topic, or where. Basically, this will allow you to have a main menu, open a form, and, when the form is closed, return to the main menu. With a little more effort, you can have the visual effect of several open windows (not ideal in FoxPro, since the forms don't have private datasessions).
