Beth, hi, if the file is that big maybe use OLE and put a Word object onto a form which is still controlled by VFP as modal. Then tell the Word object to load and display the file.

>>Beth, this behaviour would be by design of what you have created. I think you would be better off creating your own form with an editbox on it which could expand to the size of the form. The editbox could optinally be read only and have scroll bars as appropiate. You would populate the editbox with STRTOFILE(). Then you could set it as modal as well which would keep it on top until closed.
