I have another question....

when I use the code, the image stretches to the whole screen demension, irregardless if I have a small FoxPro startup screen (about half-screen size.... you can only see part of the image.).

Is the Sysmetric command getting the size of the Windows Screen and returning that value?

Would Sysmetric(3) and (4) return the startup screen?

Also..........

I've tried to get the image to disappear upon ending the application and returning to the FoxPro Development Environment.... but no go. How do you get rid of it?

Thanks!
