Hi Russ,

If you definitely don't want to use themes, you have always the chance to disable them in three levels:

* Globaly

_SCREEN.Themes = .F.

* Form level

Thisform.Themes = .F.

* Control level

YourControlReference.Themes = .F.

Keep in mind, however, that, as Craig and Sergey already said, this is not the right way to go as far as Windows guidelines is concerned.
