>>Hi All,
>>
>>This is a question that I should know the answer to, but somehow my mind went out to lunch and didn't come back! I have a 3-form formset. All forms are visible=.F. / enabled = .F. yet all forms in the set briefly flash when the formset is launched. What am I missing to keep these critters hidden until I want to unhide them? I am running VFP 5.0a with SP3 from the Vis Studio suite. TIA

>Normally, they shouldn't. But anyway you can enhance your code or your approach. You can e.g. set FormX.Left=-2000 initially, and reset Left=0 to really show it. Also, it's a good idea to use flexible formset (anyway you use it already), it means that initially you bring up empty formset (no forms) and then use Formset.Add(Remove)Object to work with Formset.forms


Ed,

Geez - thanks! I said my mind went to lunch - and I meant it. Since the set is already built and needs to get to client asap, I'll probably go with solution #1 and keep #2 on hand for future. Thanks Again!
