>Er...Okay. I'm glad you solved the problem, but I guess I don't see what _DV is doing. What is DV?

In my default include file:
#DEFINE _DV   ( VERSION( 2 ) = 2 and _VFP.STARTMODE = 0 )

It tests to see if I'm in developement mode. But I want to turn it off when I'm testing a form to make sure I haven't accidentally left something in the form that I don't want the user to see.
Now I just change the property sheet "lDV = .F." and it turns off all the developement stuff in the form, and I just reset the property to .T. to turn them back on.
