>A better solution would be for the fox team (anyone listening) to add a variable opacity/translucency propert for the form so that the user could look through the form to see whats underneath. All the futuristic movies I've seen ("Final Fantasy" was one), showed consoles with translucent overlays. I also saw one product on TECH-TV that allowed the user to tweak the form's transparency so that what was underneath could be revealed!

VFP8 Solution Samples shows you how to do transparent forms (on W2K and XP only).
