Sorry for the confusion Craig. I'm not putting forth an argument, I'm asking a question. Is it possible to write a program in VFP5 that does not require the 'Main FoxPro Window'? I can create a standalone executable in FoxPro 2.6 for DOS without any sort of FoxPro desktop in the background. Are you saying this can't be done in VFP5?

Still a novice,
