Hi David!

Sorry, but I don't know how to post an image to the UT. I zipped them and you should be able to find them at:

ftp://www.co.missoula.mt.us/Surveyor/DataRequests/ScreenShots.ZIP

Before and after on a table (works the same for me with forms), then I brought in the command window and then maximized it (which keeps the Max/Min buttons)

Thanks!

>>Yeah, that's the problem... It's in the VFP IDE area. The window maximized and the menubar was beyond that area in the IDE. In the previous versions of VFP if the form gets maximized there are two menubars, with the three options. That is not my case in VFP8. Am I making sense?
