>That is faaaaaar from my own experience. Are you using LOCKSCREEN correctly?

Yep.

The issues with Fox and repainting the screen go way back to FoxWin. Quite why it was kept the same way when they did VFP I will never understand. Having individual windows for each element, each with its own HWnd is really useful, and saves repainting the whole area - hence those issues with Terminal Server and PC Anywhere etc. (And BitMap = Off is really c***)
