Twice in the past I compiled a VFP Application where I did not want the VFP main screen to show up when I started the .exe and I succeeded in doing so. I wish to do this again, however it does not seem to work. In the simplist way I created an exe with just one form with its property set to "AS TOP LEVEL FORM" and I included a main.prg with the "READ EVENTS" command. After compiling and running this test exe I see the VFP main Screen and my top level form. I can issue "RELEASE WINDOW STANDARD" in combination with "HIDE WINDOW SCREEN" to make the VFP main screen go away. This however does not eliminate the problem, which is seeing the VFP main screen to start with. What have I forgotten? Again in the past I was able to get the desired behavior.
