>I'm a vfp newbie and having a bit of a problem with moving between some old FP code and integreting vfp3.0 into it.
> I've got a small 3 button form and one of the buttons needs to call a fp program. The problem is that the program tries to run in the window of the calling form and runs out of space. I've tried all kinds of ZOOM and CLEAR and RELEASE in the click event of the form but nothing seems to make a difference. I thought that thisform.release was supposed to make the thin go away. Is there any way I can get the calling form to go away so that the called program can run in the main window (desktop)?

The better way would be to look at FP code and try to redirect output to SCREEN. If it's impossible you can make timer trick:
1. Add customized disabled timer to _SCREEN
2. Timer.Timer event should contain code which will a) release the form and b)start FP program
3. To initiate the process you just issue _SCREEN.Mytimer.Enabled=.t. from Form.CommandButton.Click event
